Vuala

Vuala is a company working to make food waste recycling easy with our automatic food waste separation technology. Our mission is to reduce 100 million tonnes of CO2 in 10 years. Our solution, Vuala X1 is a bio-mechanical system, integrated with specialised micro-organisms and bacteria to automatically separate food waste from other wastes, turning them into raw material for biogas and hydrogen production within hours onsite. Vuala X1 allows food waste to be stored up to a month without smell, significantly delaying collection frequency, saving 95% labour and logistics cost while reducing 75% CO2 emission. Vuala is supported by Heathrow Airport, University of Cambridge, HSBC, Octopus Venture, Bloomberg, Millennium Hotels & Resorts Group and InnovateUK, piloting its technology in 10 sites across London and Cambridge.
