Huntington, NY – April 17, 2025 – Emerald Ecovations, a leader in sustainable solutions for foodservice, facilities, and packaging, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Octoen, an innovative manufacturer of electric composting systems that convert food waste and certified compostables into nutrient-rich fertilizer within 12–24 hours.

This partnership positions Emerald Ecovations as an authorized dealer for Octoen’s state-of-the-art composting systems throughout the United States, furthering both companies’ shared commitment to sustainability and waste reduction.

“By integrating Emerald Ecovations’ compostable disposables with Octoen’s electric composting systems, we’re offering the most complete solution for sustainable foodservice operations,” said Ralph Bianculli, CEO of Emerald Ecovations.
