Currently 42% of Australians do not have access
to an organics waste bin collection - without a
system to collect this organic material, people’s
only way to dispose of this material is putting into
the rubbish bin destined for landfill. As a result
over 50% of household waste in Victoria is organic
material.
Australia is fourth largest producer of food waste
in the world according to PlanetArk, so ensuring
this organic material can be captured into a
closed-loop system will prevent Australia & the
globe from generating greenhouse gas production
from organic materials.

Providing a system that can capture this material
will ensure it does not become a wasted product,
to instead become biogs, which according to the
EPA, has “practically no greenhouse gas release”.
BIO LIT is a closed-loop community-produced
anaerobic biogs system that captures organic

to produce methane, but thanks to BIO LIT
instead transforms waste into context-specific
