The Massachusetts-based recycler uses anaerobic biodigesters to create renewable natural gas from food waste. Bacteria in the digesters consume the waste, creating methane and CO2 as byproducts. Now it's time to recycle food waste, and it's not that hard. The gas can then be used for energy purposes.
