Chicago Founding 10
OCTOEN is coming to Chicago. 10 founding spots.
On-site food waste processing for Illinois kitchens. Food waste in, dry compost out, in 12 to 24 hours.
From Pine Cay in Turks and Caicos to Michelin-starred kitchens, hospitality teams run OCTOEN on site every day.
What your food waste really costs you
Hauling fees
A pickup bill every month, for as long as you generate waste.
Odor and pests
Leaking bags and smell at the loading dock, and the pests that follow.
No data
Nothing to show when your sustainability report is due.
New rules
In Cook County, large event venues must separate back-of-house organics now. Front-of-house follows in 2027.
One machine. One price. No more hauling.
