BioHiTech and Gold Medal Team Up to Help Temple University Reduce Disposal Costs While Having a Positive Impact on the Environment

CHESTNUT RIDGE, N.Y., June 7, 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 Gold Medal Services, LLC ("Gold Medal"), a market leader in municipal, commercial, and industrial solid waste collection in the Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey markets, have teamed up to help Temple University reduce disposal costs while having a positive impact on the environment through a new bundled sustainable services offering driven by BioHiTech technology.

The new bundled services offering provides Temple University with Gold Medal's traditional disposal services in combination with BioHiTech's food waste digesters and supply chain data analytics platform designed to help reduce waste generation for one all-inclusive monthly service charge.  Three digesters have been initially installed at the University with a capacity to divert more than 3,000 pounds of waste from landfills on a daily basis while eliminating many of the logistical impacts associated with collecting and transporting numerous small waste containers on a weekly basis.

"We are excited to launch this new services bundle with BioHiTech and to have Temple University as our first customer under this new services plan," said Mike Schmidt, Executive Vice President of Gold Medal.  "Many of our business customers of all sizes have expressed a desire to cost effectively reduce their impact on the environment and we are excited to now become a one-stop-shop to help achieve that objective.  By providing a valued customer like Temple with the technology tools to divert waste from landfills and to reduce waste generation through improved supply chain management, we can help to lower their disposal costs without sacrificing our own profitability.  That is a win for Temple, a win for us, and most of all, a win for the environment."

John Johnson, AVP Service Operations of Temple University stated "Our University is committed to environmental responsibility and with Gold Medal's unique sustainable services we can divert a substantial amount of waste from landfills and reduce our overall disposal costs at the same time.  Gold Medal is also helping us take it one step further by providing BioHiTech's data analytics to help make us smarter about what we are throwing away so that we can ultimately generate less waste which is good for the environment as well as our bottom line."
