The WasteMaster Solution
How it works
WasteMaster is an on-site food waste treatment system, manufactured in Singapore and supplied exclusively in Singapore by Life Lab Resources. It treats food waste where it is generated, at hotels, malls, airports, campuses and caterers, and reduces its weight by up to 80%.
WasteMaster units incorporate proprietary technology that rapidly accelerates food waste treatment without additives or water. The process breaks down food at the cellular level in hours, leaving a reduced quantity of odour-free, nutrient-rich substrate. Operation is fully automated with a single button, and units need only a 3-phase power supply and an air outlet, with no water or sewer connection.
Distinctive Value Proposition
Unlike other solutions that convert food waste into limited-use effluent, the Green Eco Technologies X Life Lab Resources WasteMaster transforms food waste into nutrient-rich substrate. Life Lab Resources collects all substrate from every site as part of its fully managed service and upcycles it off-site into microbial protein for animal and aquaculture feed. Every WasteMaster installation closes the food loop and helps create a truly circular economy in Singapore.

Who WasteMaster Is For

- Restaurants, caterers and central kitchens
- Food manufacturing and processing
Meet Singapore’s Resource Sustainability Act Requirements
Under the Resource Sustainability Act, hotels and malls with more than 3,000 m² of F&B or function space, and large food manufacturers, must segregate their food waste for treatment and report the amounts each year. New buildings must treat segregated food waste on-site.
WasteMaster lets you meet these food waste segregation and treatment requirements on-site, and its cloud reporting gives you the food waste weights you need for your annual report.
Purchase or Lease, Fully Managed
WasteMaster is available by outright purchase or lease. Both include Life Lab Resources’ fully managed service:
- Installation and commissioning
- 24/7 remote monitoring and maintenance
- Collection of all treated substrate for off-site upcycling into animal feed
- Cloud-based reporting for ESG and regulatory needs
Grants: eligible businesses may be able to offset the cost of WasteMaster through Enterprise Singapore grants or the NTUC Company Training Committee (CTC) Grant, and hotels through a Singapore Tourism Board grant. Eligibility is decided by each agency. Talk to us about which schemes may apply to you.
