Business opportunity resides in the food-processing industry where the food processing company generates waste as
part of the process of converting raw food into packaged market-ready food products.
A typical food processing plant generates 10% to 40% of the incoming field tonnage as waste. This often amounts to
hundreds of tons per day of waste material that must be trucked either to landfills or to receive further additional costly
processing before it can be disposed.
Based on information received from the California League of Food Processors, there are approximately 6,000 licensed
food-processing facilities in the state of California. Of these 6,000 facilities, potentially 3,000 generate enough waste
products to warrant the installation of a digester system.
Using the benefits of the APS digester system, and analyzing the market potential in the agricultural processing
industry along with increasing local, state and federal waste disposal regulations, OPS determined that marketing and
project development in this market segment offers a substantial business potential.
