Waste Disposal Costs are steadily increasing with the reduction of landfill space available. Osca helps reduce disposal costs by recycling organic waste onsite. When this stream of waste is removed disposal costs can be more than halved . For some organisations the payback period is less than a year!
On-site composting apparatus - Osca
Osca is an automated on-site composting apparatus. It is the first of its kind designed and made in Australia. Osca currently can handle waste streams of up to 1 and 2 tons of waste per week using little more energy than it takes to run a light-bulb. Osca is an aerobic composter which produces safe high quality compost (meets Australian Standards). Osca is easy to use; waste is continuously loaded in one end and finished compost is ejected from the other end after a period of around two weeks. Osca is silent in operation and odourless.
