BioHiTech Receives Patent for Network Connected Weight Tracking System for a Waste Disposal Machine

CHESTNUT RIDGE, N.Y., May 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- BioHiTech Global, Inc. ("BioHiTech" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: BHTG), a technology and services company that provides cost-effective and sustainable waste management solutions, today announced that it has received a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a network connected weight tracking system for a waste disposal machine. 

The new U.S. Patent, No. 9,977,414 (the "414 Patent"), relates to a food waste weight tracking system and method using a waste disposal machine with data network connectivity to transmit weight tracking system information over a computer network, or cloud, for storage, tracking aggregation and sharing by a centralized computer system. 

"Having this 414 Patent in hand is a major competitive advantage for BioHiTech as we now have the only integrated solution to measure food waste volumes directly from a disposal unit, such as our aerobic digesters or any other PLC controlled food waste disposal device, and share that data for analysis immediately via any network or the cloud," said Frank E. Celli, CEO of BioHiTech.  "Food waste data is becoming increasingly more important to customers, not only for improving efficiency through better supply chain management, but also for providing evidence of compliance in those areas where disposal of food waste is regulated by the government.  We believe our patented methodology checks all the boxes making it the simplest, smartest and most cost effective way to dispose of food waste in a sustainable manner for the environment. We have additional patents pending as part of our IP protection strategy and will continue our product innovation efforts to further enhance our competitive advantage, drive future revenue growth, and build lasting value for our stockholders."
