Make, Model & Classification
| Name | BiobiN 4.5 cubic metre system |
| Model | 4.5 S |
| Classification | Organics Processing |
Operations
| Description or Purpose | The BiobiN 4.5 cu.m. system is for capture, containment and processing of organic recyclable materials. The system can be equipped with small access hatches for easy filling and is also compatible with MGB lifting units. Exchange / servicing is only required when full. This system usually captures between 2.5 and 3.5 tonne of organics. |
| Operating Principles | The BiobiN system is designed to capture and commence processing of organic recyclables. The system is designed to remain in situ for extended periods minimising transport costs. To obtain best results, dry carbon based material is required to be added with wet organics. This material may include shredded paper, cardboard, garden waste, etc. Filling can take place in a day or over several months. |
| Additional Information | Consideration needs to be given to placement of the system to allow heavy vehicle access to the system and for the purpose of maintaining a clean environment around the system. |

Approvals Related to Use of Output
Important Note on Composting in NSW
In NSW, applying waste to land – including a processed waste such as compost - or using it as a fuel may trigger various regulatory requirements. Depending on the proposed use you may be required to comply with a Resource Recovery Exemption or need to hold an environment protection licence, and pay the waste levy.
While there is a Compost Exemption (2014) it is important to note that drying or dehydrating food waste, or any other compostable waste, is specifically excluded from consideration under this exemption. Drying or dehydrating equipment uses externally supplied energy to heat and ventilate food waste or any other compostable waste in order to rapidly dry the waste material over a short time period (typically 24 to 48 hours), either with or without the addition of an inoculum. If you are interested in this type of equipment you should refer to the resource recovery exemptions for information on lawful use of outputs.
If it is intended to use the material as a fuel, it must comply with the NSW Energy from Waste Policy Statement. http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/140056enfromwasteps.htm
