Sustainable food waste management

'Our continued strong relationship with the Carnival family of brands underscores their dedication to sustainable food waste management and the long-awaited re-launch of seafaring travel,' BioHiTech CEO Tony Fuller said.

The Revolution series digesters, equipped with a proprietary data analytics platform, are part of Carnival Corp. & plc's comprehensive plan to limit food waste, achieve safe on-board disposal and improve associated environmental outcomes.

$14m Carnival Corp. deal

The order is part of the Chestnut Ridge, New York-based BioHiTech's purchase contract inked in early 2020 with Carnival Corp. valued at up to $14m for potentially hundreds of Revolution series digesters and ongoing cloud-based data analytics and supplies.
