The Peninsula To Convert Waste into Organic Fertilizer with Industry-Leading Technology

Food waste makes up 30% of household garbage. These massive machines turn it into fertilizer

THE BRONX, NY, April 29, 2022 — The Peninsula, a mixed-use, multiphase 5-acre campus under development by Gilbane along with Hudson Companies and Mutual Housing Association of New York (MHANY), will be the first project in New York State to use an aerobic digester—a kind of biological machine in which microbes quickly devour and process food waste to converted into organic fertilizer.
