BiobiN - Organic Waste Containment System
BiobiN is an on-site, capture and containment system used for organic material processing (starting the composting process) in an odour-free, easily accessible vessel. Keeping organic waste out of landfill will help pave the way towards a more sustainable future in commercial kitchens and catering
The patented BiobiN® aeration system initiates a composting process of organic material, reducing bacteria and other pathogens.
The composting process also maximises the amount of organic material that can be collected by the BiobiN®.
Once collected, the processed or partially processed organic material can be added to products such as soil conditioners, compost and biofuels – providing a valuable supply of nutrients, carbon and organic matter to agricultural soils, landscape supplies and alternative fuels.

The LGSA Conference for 2011 was held in Nowra at the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre from Sunday 23rd October to Wednesday 26th October. Approximately 600 delegates from across NSW plus staff from 60 trade displays attended the event.
The conference was an opportunity to put in place best practise event waste management for both front of house facilities and back of house kitchen and food preparation areas. Resourcefull Recycling in partnership with Green Connect were engaged to manage waste for the conference. The aim was to maximise the recovery of resources and minimise waste to landfill.
The waste collected was divided into four streams:-
- Landfill waste
- Paper and cardboard
- Mixed recycling – bottles, cans and plastic containers
- Organic – Food and other compostable material
In order to assist in reducing waste to landfill, compostable paper plates, corn starch knives and forks were used as well as compostable paper cups, biodegradable plastic cups and recyclable plastic cups.
An onsite aerated compost system was supplied by “BiobiN” to compost these material plus all food preparation and residual food waste.
The results from the LGSA Conference
What waste was sent where;
- Landfill: 3500 litres
- Mixed recycling: 3720 litres
- Cardboard: 7590 litres
- Food & organics: 4440 litres
- Total waste: 19250 litrtes
- % recycled: 82%
- % to landfill: 18%
BiobiN® is being used on the remote island or Warraber to manage the organic materials generated from community food waste and green organics.
The custom built BiobiN® used on the island has been fitted with a tipping mechanism specifically designed for the use with a fork lift. The BiobiN® is maintained by staff, and the resulting compost is used in home and public gardens across the island.
Food scraps and organic material from on-site food preparation and catering areas at the Adelaide Oval will find a new use as nutrient rich compost, thanks to a closed system recycling program supported by BASF, the world’s leading chemical company.
The program, a cooperative effort between BASF, Compost Australia and BiobiN® Technologies, is an innovative approach to resource recovery and the first of its kind at Australia’s iconic Adelaide Oval.
