Award-winning food-recycling system\u00a0Mill\u00a0announced new results from the company’s year-long pilot with the City of Tacoma, Washington<\/span>. The results show that Mill increases food scrap source separation both in households that have previously participated in municipal food scraps collection and those that have not, and offers an easy way for Tacoma<\/span> residents to enjoy a better kitchen experience, save on their waste and grocery bills, and prevent harmful methane emissions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In February 2023<\/span>, Mill and the City of Tacoma<\/span> announced a first-of-its-kind agreement to pilot a new strategy for using connected in-home food recycling infrastructure to address residential food waste diversion. The goals of the pilot were to determine if Mill’s food recycling technology could increase citizen participation in food scraps source separation efforts, reduce contamination in the waste stream, and offer a new opportunity for residential customers to reduce the volume and price of their waste service by separating food scraps out of the waste stream.<\/p>\n
