A key factor in the successful management of household waste is how best to derive best value:

	High quality recyclables
	(glass, metals, plastics etc.)
	Products converted from biodegradable
	fraction since this represents around 60% of the input waste and any solutions for it's disposal must be sustainable and cost effective

Orchid has developed and proven two unique patented processes to treat household waste (and selected commercial wastes):

	The first stage uses a proven patented
	process technology to clean & sanitise all the output products & to separate & break down the biodegradable material into an unrefined biomass fibre product
	The second stage feeds this unrefined
	product through a unique patented biomass density separation process which has the ability to refine products to previously unforseen levels of quality and to meet a range of potential end user specifications
