Grand Millennium Hotel Auckland install
We are very enthusiastic about the new installation in the Millenium Hotel, where five kitchens are sourcing their food waste to go through the Green Machine Flagship food waste processor.
TGM’s Frank Resink prepares the machine for install.
The hotel saves itself about 60 percent in emissions. That may still feel like an abstract concept, as it clearly does for most of us, but the practical consequences are looming – besides extreme weather events – in the form of
the carrot; the Millennium will be able to claim via the Emissions Trading Scheme which is being put together by the Government and will be implemented in the next few years, at the time of writing this sitting on NZ $ 67.00 per metric ton of food waste.
And the stick; food waste laws are being tightened right now with severe consequences by 2025 for any commercial food waste producer regarding separation and emissions.
The Grand Millennium also saves itself 80 percent in food waste volume which translates to lesser movements to the waste pickup point, and a reduction in pickup fees as 10 bins have become 2. This volume reduction also saves significantly in emissions relating to food waste transport which will be the next issue https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/131678424/councils-are-transporting-food-scraps-hundreds-of-kilometres-as-nz-tries-to-avoid-dumping-350000-tonnes-of-food-waste-into-landfills-each-year.
After install – Jacqui (Millennium), Frank (The Green Machine) and Colin (Millennium). 
TGM provides demonstrations and training to staff.
