Greenfinch, a small R&D company based in the UK has been operating the UK's only biowaste
digester for the past 18 months recycling source separated kitchen waste from 1200 households.
Previously we ran a 200 household digester for 2 years and we are about to embark on a new
project to directly compare mesophilic and thermophilic digestion. Contact Michael Chesshire
