Power Knot Ocean recently expanded with new offices across the globe. The new openings are based in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Cyprus and Greece, among others, according to a press release.
"Over the last few years Power Knot Ocean has successfully delivered hundreds of the LFC biodigesters to the maritime industry," president at Power Knot, Iain Milnes, said. "The biodigesters have replaced pulpers as a premier, reliable organic waste solution. Our machines have also prevented plastics from accidentally entering waste streams thanks to their inherent design."
The expansion was inspired by the recent increase in demand for food waste biodigesters. Power Knot noted the need for the LFC biodigester and other Power Knot Ocean solutions as a direct result of stricter regulations regarding sustainability, food waste and plastic pollution.
The company’s catalog of customers includes Carnival Corporation & plc, JUST B Yacht, Golar Freeze (LNG Tanker), Princess Cruises and Holland America, among several others.
The company’s solutions align with MARPOL and DOJ requirements regarding the proper disposal of marine food waste and the prevention of plastic pollution.
“In 2019, Carnival Corporation tested the LFC biodigester to improve environmental compliance and the disposal of food waste onboard its ships,” a recent press release explains. “After extensive third-party testing, the LFC biodigester was fully certified and found to be in compliance with all regulations by Carnival UK's legal team.”
