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.

CoE Groen is a unique collaboration of four Dutch universities of applied sciences, forming a leading research and education coalition for the green sector. Their focus areas include sustainable food systems, biodiversity, climate adaptation, circular agriculture, and ecosystem restoration. What makes CoE Groen special is its strong connection between research, education, and practice, supporting projects that not only generate academic knowledge but also provide direct, practical impact for farmers, local governments, entrepreneurs, and communities.

During the symposium, GEME engaged in insightful discussions with various experts, gaining key takeaways:

2. The Healthcare Sector Needs Greener Waste Solutions:
   An eye-opening conversation with Dr. David Bergemann, a healthcare professional at Brussels HUB Hospital, highlighted the often-overlooked challenges of organic waste in hospital kitchens. It became clear there is a significant opportunity to support the healthcare sector in adopting clean, low-impact solutions like GEME’s composters. GEME's product characteristics, such as its odorless and indoor-friendly operation, make it highly suitable for use in institutions like healthcare facilities to address their food waste challenges.

3. Innovation Depends on Funding, Education, and Ecosystems:
   A valuable conversation with Marie Elisabeth Colin from hub.brussels provided insights into how EU and regional funding mechanisms are evolving to better support startups working on sustainable and deep-tech solutions. These discussions are vital for early-stage innovation companies like GEME, helping to align strategy with emerging opportunities.

The symposium served as a reminder that solving global challenges requires local action, robust science, and strong partnerships. At GEME, the focus extends beyond building machines; it's about building a vision of circularity that begins with everyday habits, local ecosystems, and meaningful collaboration across sectors.

GEME is proud to align with the values of CoE Groen and the broader movement to regenerate our soils and rethink the role of waste – not as a burden, but as a resource for renewal. As GEME continues to grow and scale across Europe, the lessons and insights shared during this inspiring event will remain deeply embedded in the company's mindset. Because in the words shared throughout the day: “Samen naar beter” — Together, toward better. 🌍

The Art of Preparing Your Compost​

When you first receive your compost from your GEME composter, you're holding a concentrated source of plant nutrition and soil life. But like any powerful tool, knowing how to prepare and apply it makes all the difference in achieving the best results.

Introduction: Unlock the Secret to a Thriving Garden​

Imagine stepping into your home filled with vibrant, lush greenery, or harvesting crisp vegetables straight from a thriving garden patch. The secret to this kind of natural abundance often lies hidden right beneath the surface – in the richness of the soil. And the key to rich soil? Often, it's "Black Gold".

Winter may be fading, but your garden is likely buried under layers of debris. Fallen leaves, broken branches, and leftover plant trimmings can make your outdoor space look messy and uninviting. But don't worry. This guide will show you how to efficiently clean up your winter garden and transform your yard into an organic one. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a beginner, these three simple steps will help you restore your garden’s beauty and prepare it for spring.

Electric composters are innovative kitchen appliances designed to solve the growing problem of food waste management. These smart devices efficiently transform kitchen scraps, including vegetable peels, fruit cores, coffee grounds, and even some meat scraps, into nutrient-rich compost within hours instead of months. By combining advanced technology with natural decomposition principles, electric composters like GEME offer an eco-friendly solution for urban households and restaurants lacking outdoor composting space, while reducing landfill waste and greenhouse gas emissions from traditional waste disposal methods.

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.

Knowing when your compost is ready is a bit like knowing when a cake is baked. There are some telltale signs to look for.

"Proper composting requires the right balance of materials and conditions," explains Dr. Sarah Chen, a composting expert. "When done correctly, beneficial microorganisms break down organic matter into rich, usable compost that's great for your garden."
