NEWS 14 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE September 2024 In an industry-leading move, Hyatt Regency Sydney, one of Australia’s largest hotels, became the first hotel in the world to implement Goterra’s compact sustainable food waste management system onsite. Championed by owners M&L Hospitality, this initiative marks a significant step towards managing the hotel’s food waste and reducing its carbon footprint and environmental impact. Goterra's system, created and led by CEO Olympia Yarger, employs innovative technology to manage food waste using insects. The system utilises Black Soldier Fly larvae to break down food waste onsite rapidly and at a large scale. Housed in high-tech, containerised units dubbed ‘Maggot Robots,’ the larvae can devour vast amounts of food waste, reducing it by 95% in just 24 hours. This transformational innovation will help the industry tackle climate change, aligning Hyatt Regency Sydney with global sustainability goals, Goterra points out. "When you manage food waste with insects, you radically reduce the impact it has on the world. Using insects in tandem with industrial robotics means we manage waste efficiently, producing a sustainable protein that can be used in agricultural supply chains, creating a truly circular system," Goterra CEO Yarger explains. According to the statement from Goterra, Hyatt Regency Sydney is Australia’s largest premium hotel. Boasting 878 rooms, award-winning dining experiences and 4,000 square metres of flexible meeting and event spaces that can house up to 1,000 guests, the hotel actively manages thousands of tonnes of food waste every year. In a huge win for bettering sustainable supply chains, the new system closes the loop with a ‘circular egg’; whereby Goterra processes the hotel’s food waste with insects and technology, then provides the hotel’s key egg supplier, Hilltops Free Range, with the insect protein as a feed mix alternative.
