Ramadan 2026 arrives as a time of deep reflection, generosity, and community for millions around the world. Families, hotels, and organisations prepare generous iftar and suhoor meals to honour the spirit of the holy month.
According to regional studies, food waste can increase by up to 30–40% during Ramadan, driven by lavish iftar spreads, over-preparation, and buffet culture. As water scarcity and environmental pressures intensify globally, addressing food waste during Ramadan is no longer just an operational concern—it is a moral, environmental, and economic responsibility.
This is where Bio-Thermic Digesters (BTD) offer a powerful and practical solution.
Food waste is not just about discarded meals. When organic waste ends up in landfills, it decomposes anaerobically and releases methane—a greenhouse gas significantly more harmful than carbon dioxide. Additionally, wasted food represents wasted water, energy, labour, and resources used throughout the supply chain.
During Ramadan, the surge in organic waste puts extra pressure on:
Sustainable waste management during this holy month aligns strongly with the Islamic principles of avoiding excess (Israf) and stewardship of the Earth.
A Bio-Thermic Digester (BTD) is an on-site machine that safely and efficiently treats food waste.
Simply put, it breaks down food waste using heat and natural bacteria, reducing the waste volume drastically.
The result: up to 90–95% volume reduction in food waste.
Bio-Thermic Digesters are ideal for:
