Food-waste management remains a critical issue, especially as the African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreak resurfaces and raises public concern. The virus, which carries a fatality rate of up to 100 percent in pigs, exposes significant biosecurity risks in the traditional practice of feeding pigs with untreated food waste. Many people wonder, “What happens if humans ingest ASF-contaminated food?” and “Can ASF infect humans?” Experts clarify that African Swine Fever does not infect humans. However, improper handling of food waste can allow the virus to spread among animals, becoming a major biosecurity breach. Solving food waste from the source remains the most effective and scalable approach to preventing such outbreaks.

SOGA Technology, a Taiwanese startup specializing in independently developed smart food-waste processors, has continued to expand its product line since 2023. After the successful release of its household food-waste processors, the company launched several large-scale commercial units last year, becoming Taiwan’s only full-range intelligent food-waste equipment developer. Its household products, the MEGA Food Waste Emperor and MEGA Vision Food Waste Machine, have sold nearly ten thousand units. The commercial MEGA Commercial Food Waste Machine has been deployed at Jingwen University of Science and Technology, Yuanzhao Temple in Kaohsiung, major tech manufacturers, and various long-term operational sites such as schools, temples, tech companies, and amusement parks. With real-time operational feedback and digital metrics, SOGA helps enterprises obtain verifiable energy-saving and carbon-reduction reports, making the system a powerful ESG tool.

Breakthrough Food-Waste Technology: AIoT Dual-Mode Processing System

In the context of recurring ASF risks, SOGA introduces the MEGA MAX 15-Litre Commercial Food Waste Machine, designed for restaurants, central kitchens, and SMEs. The system integrates AIoT remote monitoring, 120-degree high-temperature drying, and organic-mode microbial decomposition, reducing food waste by over 90 percent and preventing viral transmission at the source. The machine eliminates odour and leakage while transforming food waste into reusable organic fertilizer.

Key features include:
• High-efficiency processing: Switch freely between “Rapid Drying” and “Organic Mode,” supporting diverse kitchen needs. Achieves ultra-fast decomposition within 4–6 hours, reducing waste volume by more than 90 percent.
• Zero contamination output: No liquid discharge, eliminating the risk of secondary pollution. Output material can be directly used as green fertilizer.
• Modular tiered design: Component layers can be quickly disassembled or replaced, simplifying maintenance and future upgrades. Built for Taiwan’s commercial spaces where efficiency and space optimization are both essential.
• AIoT cloud optimization: Real-time tracking of processing volume with equipment-generated ESG and carbon-reduction reports. Users can monitor the system remotely via the app, while cloud algorithms automatically adjust parameters for different environments.
• Optimized for commercial spaces: Compact footprint with uncompromised performance. Capable of processing large volumes of waste while remaining energy efficient. Can be installed against walls, corridors, or beside prep tables without additional construction. Processed waste becomes dry powder that may be disposed of with regular trash.

Compared to standard food-waste processors, MEGA MAX shifts from “passive processing” to “active intelligent management,” perfectly aligning with digital transformation trends and turning food waste into actionable data assets.

Zero-Barrier Adoption: Monthly Subscription Unlocks AIoT Sustainability Ecosystem

To accelerate market adoption, SOGA offers a flexible leasing program. For only a few thousand NT dollars per month, businesses gain access to full installation, cloud monitoring, and complimentary consumables and maintenance. This eliminates large upfront investment and provides instant access to AIoT data tracking, carbon-reduction metrics, and sustainability reporting integration. This approach aligns with Taiwan’s Environmental Protection Administration’s digital carbon auditing initiatives and enables schools, restaurants, communities, and factories to upgrade instantly with plug-and-play intelligence.

The company’s CEO emphasized, “We are committed to advancing innovative technologies that bring sustainability into every corner of daily life.”

The backend management system helps enterprises better track device performance and quickly export data required for sustainability reporting.

Taiwan Innovation, Global Vision: Local R&D as the Engine of Competitiveness

The entire MEGA MAX commercial product line is developed in Taiwan, from microbial strains to AIoT platforms. This ensures rapid iteration and robust local support. The system showcases Taiwan’s leadership in environmental AIoT technologies and provides data-driven solutions that align with international ESG frameworks, making local tech a key driver of the global net-zero transition.

A Unified Future: Technology × Sustainability × Biosecurity

• Biosecurity Shield: AIoT-enclosed system prevents viral spread and odour leakage.
• Sustainability Engine: Real-time carbon-reduction tracking supports enterprise-level carbon footprint reporting.
• Central Intelligence: Cloud analytics forecast performance, suitable for diverse environments such as hotels, tech firms, chain restaurants, and convenience stores.

MEGA MAX not only solves the current food-waste crisis but also transforms waste into renewable resources through AIoT innovation, guiding Taiwan toward a net-zero future and reshaping how the world handles food-waste management.
