PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Thanks to Torcon, Inc. and team, the Do Good Foods Fairless Hills (DGF) project converted an empty 84,000-squarefoot warehouse into a start-of-the-art food upcycling and production facility that converts fresh, unused groceries into healthy animal feed. This first-of-its-kind project — which diverts waste from landfills and reduces carbon emissions — features an automated storage and retrieval system, including a series of conveyors that move the product through grinding, heating, filtration, pasteurization, and drying. All supporting utilities are produced by new, high-efficiency generating equipment. The facility also features LED light fixtures and a heat recovery system, reflecting DGF’s overall mission of sustainability.
