From kitchen to animal feed in Japan

Last week I was in Japan in order to start some collaborations with some Japanese companies and research institutes. In Japan, there is generally no biogas from wastes and they just burn the waste with no product (as we produce district heat and electricity here in Sweden). I had a chance to visit Biomass Expo in Tokyo. One of the companies (Kyoritsu) had an interesting simple solution for hotels, restaurants or juice companies. They just dried the waste materials by heating in e.g. vacuum sulimation. The results was some kinds of granules that they said it is used for animal feed.
