What enrich360 does

enrich360 is an Australian private company headquartered in Yarraville, Victoria, that designs, manufactures, and sells food waste dehydration machines under the enrich360® brand, with the Eco 5 benchtop unit sold direct-to-consumer and the larger commercial, card-access, and Eco 75 models sold to enterprise customers through quote-based direct sales. Its core technology combines indirect heating (heating food waste to around 140°C to evaporate moisture while preserving nutrients) with the proprietary Vortech grinding system, which reduces waste volume by up to 90–93%, eliminates over 99% of bacteria, and produces a sterile, nutrient-rich organic fertiliser (94% organic matter) plus potable water as byproducts. Output has been independently certified by Sydney Environmental & Soil Laboratory (SESL) Australia.

The company serves a diversified customer base across hospitality and food service, healthcare, multi-unit residential and high-rise buildings, educational institutions, and government/defence facilities in Australia (Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and the Northern Territory). Named reference customers include Princess Alexandra Hospital (3 tonnes of food waste processed weekly, ~$50,000/year in diversion cost savings), Grosvenor Place (Australia's first high-rise tower deployment), Compass Group, EcoMob (an Indigenous-led enterprise processing defence-base waste in Darwin), the City of Melbourne five-building/1,382-apartment pilot, and over 20 schools in the EcoSchools Program. The business model centres on hardware unit sales (one-time/perpetual pricing for the Eco 5, multi-year/quote-based contracts for commercial units), Amazon marketplace distribution for the consumer SKU, and professional installation/support services, augmented by a "circular food economy" certification program. The company operates with 1–10 employees and no disclosed external funding, implying an organically financed, founder-led growth profile.

Core offering

enrich360 designs, manufactures, and sells food waste dehydrator machines (Eco 5 benchtop, Commercial, Card-Access, and Eco 75 models) that use indirect heating and Vortech grinding to convert food waste on-site into nutrient-rich organic fertiliser and potable water, reducing waste volume by up to 93%. The company also sells the resulting organic fertiliser and provides installation and ongoing support services.

Product overview

enrich360 offers a portfolio of food waste dehydration machines that transform food waste into organic fertiliser through heat, aeration, and grinding technology. The product lineup consists of three dehydrator types: the Eco 5 (compact 5L benchtop unit for residential and light commercial use), Commercial Dehydrators (industrial-scale units for high-volume operations), and Card-Access Dehydrators (commercial units with card-based access control). The Eco 75 represents a larger mid-tier commercial option. All dehydrators produce organic fertiliser as a byproduct, which the company also offers as a standalone product. The Circular Food Economy Program provides certification and consulting services to support customers in achieving sustainability goals.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• EcoMobcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 March 2024Indigenous-led enterprise partnership where EcoMob operates Darwin's first food waste dehydration facility using enrich360 commercial dehydrators. Processes food waste from defense bases, creating jobs and supporting local farmers. Partnership enables large-scale processing capacity expansion with 1,100-litre units.
• FoodCyclercoreTechnology or IntegrationTechnology partnership utilizing FoodCycler's pioneering technology developed for the Eco 5. FoodCycler is researching one-bin solutions capable of processing both food waste and bioplastics. enrich360 brings this technology to the Australian market.

Others

• TOMRA: Norwegian technology company specialising in sensor-based sorting and collection for recycling, food, and circular-economy applications. Adjacent infrastructure provider in the food-waste and organics value chain; not a direct competitor but a thematic peer in the same sustainability/circular-economy ecosystem.

Emerging players

• WISErg: US-based food-waste-to-fertiliser startup (acquired by Target in 2022) that converts grocer and commercial kitchen food waste into liquid fertiliser using on-site processing. Overlapping value proposition with enrich360's nutrient-rich soil-amendment output and similar commercial-kitchen target customers.
• Hungry Giant: Emerging food-waste recycling and processing startup offering on-site dehydration/processing solutions for commercial kitchens. Comparable to enrich360's commercial line with overlapping value proposition (food waste to compost/fertiliser) but at an earlier stage of commercial deployment.

Broad incumbents

• Waste Management Inc. North America's largest waste-services provider with growing organics recycling and food-waste processing capabilities. A broad incumbent whose scale, hauling infrastructure, and sustainability programs position it as both competitor and potential distribution/partner for on-site food-waste technologies like enrich360's.
• Cleanaway Waste Management: Australia's largest waste-management company (ASX:CWY) providing collection, processing, and disposal services across solid, liquid, and hazardous waste. Competes with enrich360 by offering industrial composting, organics processing, and bundled waste contracts at scale, and is a likely acquirer or channel partner.
• Veolia: Global environmental services leader offering waste collection, recycling, composting, and energy-from-waste services across Australia and globally. Competes with enrich360 in commercial/organics waste streams and could displace on-site dehydrators with centralised organics-processing contracts.

Direct peers

• FoodCycler: Canadian food-waste dehydrator company whose patented 'pioneering technology' underpins enrich360's Eco 5 product. Direct overlap in benchtop food-waste dehydration hardware for residential and small commercial users, and an explicit technology partner of enrich360.
• BioHiTech America: US-based provider of on-site food-waste digesters (BioHiTech Eco-Safe) for commercial and institutional kitchens, hospitals, and universities. Directly comparable to enrich360's commercial dehydrators in terms of target customer, value proposition (volume reduction + diversion from landfill), and on-site hardware model.
• Oklin International: Manufacturer of on-site food-waste composting/dehydrating machines for commercial and institutional use. Operates in the same on-site food-waste processing category as enrich360, serving hotels, restaurants, and food-service operators with similar volume-reduction and fertiliser outputs.
• Power Knot: Sells industrial food-waste dehydrators (LFC, ZWG models) that convert food waste to greywater, targeting commercial kitchens, hotels, hospitals, and food processors. Closest hardware analogue to enrich360's commercial/card-access lines in both form factor and target verticals.
