What's the problem with Food waste?
the UK throw away 9.5 million tonnes of food waste every year
That generates 42.5 million tonnes of CO2, uses 6.5 trillion litres of water and is worth around £47.5 billion. We’re just throwing money away.
1 Kilo of food waste produces 4.5Kg of CO2
If food waste was a country, it would be the third most polluting in the world. Throwing food away wastes our natural resources (planting, growing, processing, packaging and transporting).
1 Kilo of food waste uses 7,000 litres of water
That’s the same as 12 showers. 2 billion people worldwide don’t have access to clean water, and we’re wasting 6.5 trillion litres on food that’s never eaten

How does it work?
ORCA is an innovative, clean food digester, designed to reduce your environmental impact. Just like a stomach, ORCA mixes your food waste with microorganisms to break it down in a sealed container. Once finished, all that is left is a liquid which is safely expelled down your waste pipe.
