| Model | WasteStar FC |
| Classification | Organics Processing |
Operations
| Description or Purpose | The WasteStar system (WTS) is a vacuum food waste recycling system integrated in large kitchens for the collection of organic kitchen scraps out of the wash-up and the preparation areas. |
| Operating Principles | The organic refuse arising in the kitchen is directly fed into the integrated feeding station of the MEIKO wash-up or MEIKO transport system. An intermediate storage of commercial food waste in separate trolleys is no longer necessary. The integration of the system guarantees ergonomical handling of dishes and commercial food waste. This provides relief for workers as well as allowing essential time savings. Due to a modular construction, the wash-up as well as the preparation areas can be integrated in one system. The vacuum transport of the food waste is executed via a stainless steel pipe system into a collection tank |
| Additional Information | Adapted to the individual work-flows and capacities of the wash-up installations, MEIKO provides for the wash-up area system solutions which consider in an ideal way the requirements of ergonomics and organization. Commercial food waste can be fed into the WasteStar - disposal system directly in the stripping and sorting section of the dishwashing machine via the integrated waste chutes. Thus allowing an integration of the commercial food waste disposal into the work-flow. |

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
