On May 23rd, 2025, GEME had the pleasure of participating in the 40th Anniversary International Conference of the European Parents’ Association (EPA) — a milestone event held at the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) in Brussels.
GEME recently participated in the "Soil, Water and Climate in Balance" symposium, organized by CoE Groen – the Centre of Expertise for the green domain in the Netherlands. The event brought together experts from research, education, policy-making, and entrepreneurship to discuss the complex challenges facing agriculture, water systems, and climate change, emphasizing solutions through knowledge-sharing, practice-based innovation, and collaborative action.
The increasing focus on food waste disposal policies presents a significant challenge to the restaurant industry.
On one hand, the ongoing costs associated with waste disposal represent a steady and unavoidable operational expense. Furthermore, the storage of food waste is a pressing issue. Especially during the summer months, rising temperatures can cause rapid decomposition, unpleasant odors, and the proliferation of bacteria.
De toenemende focus op beleid voor voedselafvalverwerking vormt een aanzienlijke uitdaging voor de restaurantindustrie. Enerzijds vormen de doorlopende kosten in verband met afvalverwerking een constante en onvermijdelijke operationele kostenpost. Bovendien is de opslag van voedselafval een urgent probleem. Vooral tijdens de zomermaanden kunnen stijgende temperaturen leiden tot snelle ontbinding, onaangename geuren en de verspreiding van bacteriën. Anderzijds is gezondheid een onmiskenbare trend geworden, die diep geworteld is in de mentaliteit van consumenten. Klanten zijn steeds meer bezorgd over hoe verschillende aspecten van hun leven aansluiten bij gezondheid en duurzaamheid, een verschuiving die vooral duidelijk is in de horeca.
Las Vegas, Nevada — GEME, a leading innovator in sustainable food waste management, is excited to announce its participation at CES 2025. Known as the global stage for innovation, CES brings together the brightest minds in technology and sustainability. GEME will be showcasing its cutting-edge composting solutions, designed to tackle food waste at a personal and community level.
The CES event will feature GEME’s latest composting systems that are revolutionizing the way consumers approach food waste.

In the current process of globalization, food waste has emerged as a severe issue that urgently demands resolution and has captured the extensive attention of the international community. According to the statistics of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), approximately 1.3 billion tons of food is wasted globally each year, which is equivalent to around one-third of the total global food production (FAO, 2024). Food waste not only leads to a colossal loss of precious resources such as land, water, and energy consumed during food production but also exerts a profound negative impact on the environment, including land occupation due to landfill, greenhouse gas emissions, and water pollution. Simultaneously, it poses a serious threat to global food security.
In recent years, increased environmental awareness has driven many individuals to adopt sustainable lifestyles. Home composters have become a popular solution for managing kitchen waste, leading to a significant rise in market demand. According to the 2023 BioCycle Nationwide Survey on Residential Food Waste Collection Access, 14.9 million U.S. households now have access to food waste collection through 400 programs across 710 communities. Since 2021, there has been substantial growth in these programs, with options for curbside collection including opt-in, standard, or mandatory participation.
