In the past, food waste management was often overlooked because many people believed that “food scraps decompose naturally” and therefore didn’t require special attention. In reality, food waste is one of the largest and most serious waste problems in the world, and a major contributor to environmental issues that many are unaware of.

Food waste makes up 40–60% of total waste generated in homes, restaurants, hotels, schools, factories, and industrial facilities. When food waste is disposed of in landfills, it decomposes without oxygen and releases methane gas, a greenhouse gas that warms the planet 28 times more intensely than CO₂. This makes food waste one of the hidden drivers of global warming. In addition, food waste causes foul odors, pests, contamination, and significantly increases waste collection costs each year.

Because of these problems, many countries have introduced Zero Food Waste policies and encouraged households and businesses to adopt technologies that tackle waste from the source. This has led to rapid growth in the popularity of food waste disposers, food waste composters, and biological waste treatment machines.

In Thailand, one of the most recognized brands in this field is OKLIN, known for its expertise in food waste management technology. Using a specialized microbial system, OKLIN can break down all types of food waste—meat, vegetables, fruits, noodles, bakery waste, and even large-scale industrial scraps—and transform them into plant-nourishing material within 24 hours.

What sets the OKLIN Food Waste Composter apart is its ability to turn a problem into value. Instead of generating waste, the machine produces a soil-like by-product that can be reused as a natural soil amendment, contributing to a small-scale Circular Economy right at home, in restaurants, commercial kitchens, or large industrial operations.

OKLIN also focuses on user experience by designing machines that are easy to use, odor-free, safe, clean, and suitable for both home and industrial applications. Its stainless-steel inner components are built for durability and long-term heavy-duty usage. This makes OKLIN popular among households, restaurants, hotels, schools, shopping malls, central kitchens, and manufacturers that generate high volumes of food waste daily. By adopting OKLIN’s technology, organizations can significantly reduce waste volume, minimize odors, lower waste collection costs, and decrease their carbon footprint.

Another standout feature that many people may not know about is OKLIN’s Free Waste Assessment Service. This service allows an expert team to visit the site, analyze the actual daily volume and types of food waste generated, evaluate usage patterns, calculate the cost-effectiveness, and recommend the most suitable machine model. The free assessment ensures that customers choose the right machine for their real needs and helps organizations implement a structured Zero Food Waste system without guesswork or trial and error.

For this reason, OKLIN is widely regarded as a leading provider of food waste disposers, food waste composters, industrial food waste digesters, and complete food waste management technology solutions that support both households and businesses in transitioning toward a more sustainable future.
