Easy Start

Step 1

Begin with a 5min Food Waste Audit

to determine which model best suits your business operations and waste volume.

Step 2

Preparing and Installing Your Terra Loop

  • Preparation:
    Your Terra Loop composter will be delivered in a wooden crate for protection during transport. Before arrival, confirm that the installation space is clear and that appropriate handling equipment (such as a pallet jack or forklift) is available if needed.
  • Installation:
    After removing the crate, the composter can be rolled into its designated position. If installation requires placement on an elevated surface, use suitable lifting equipment to ensure safe handling.

Step 3

Operating Procedures and Employee Training

  • Process Review: Use insights from the Food Waste Audit to determine necessary adjustments to your current waste management and collection methods.

  • SOP Development: Define new Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and assign a responsible staff member to manage cleaning, maintenance, and performance monitoring.

  • Scheduling: Establish a consistent schedule for feeding and emptying the composter. A common example: feed the unit Monday–Friday, allow it to process over the weekend, and empty excess material Monday morning.

  • Training and Signage: Provide comprehensive staff training and post instructional signage near the composter to ensure correct operation and maintenance.
