Chiquita Brands International Inc. says a new “biodigester” system installed in Costa Rica will turn organic material from banana farming into sustainable energy for its plant and fertilizer for local farmers.
The technology is now in place at Chiquita’s Mundimar S.A. facility in Guapilis, Costa Rica. The biodigester will convert fruit waste and processing water from banana operations into electrical and heat energy, and produce nutrient rich fertilizer material for local palm farmers. Cincinnati-based Chiquita (NYSE: CQB) said the process is carbon neutral.
