VUALA Robotics, Services and Utilities
Minimum Intervention
Maximum Automation
Think of it like a lift, but for food waste caddies — staff simply place the caddy and press start, and the system automatically lifts, weighs, logs, empties, and refresh the bin for reuse.
No heavy lifting, no manual emptying, and no unnecessary strain on staff.One button is all it takes.
Vuala automatically handles lifting, weighing, treatment, extraction, and storage from start to finish — no lifting, no mess, no smell, just simple, fully automated food waste management.
Staff deposit food waste just like any other bin.
But here's the difference: when forks, plastic films, bin bags, or packaging accidentally end up inside — and they will — the Vuala machine separates them out automatically.
Vuala turns waste into actionable data — see who throws away what and when, track labour usage, and identify which foods are wasted most to help reduce costs and improve operations.
We install and maintain the Vuala system, collect your treated food waste, and convert it into energy for the grid.
You sit back while the machine reduces labour and logistics costs and turns waste into renewable power.Vuala transforms your food waste into renewable energy for the grid — building a future where food waste becomes a reliable global energy source.

London Heathrow Airport
Approximately 14% of our waste tonnage is food waste. Food waste is often poorly segregated in our concessionaire kitchens and staff catering areas, as well as in passenger-facing areas, with food waste often ending up in residual waste and dry mixed recycling.
Enhancing food waste segregation presents an opportunity to increase recycling and improve concessionaire engagement on waste.
We're proud to be trialling the Vuala X1 Food Waste Recycling Solution in Terminal 5 – This innovative solution creates an artificial stomach, which we hope can ultimately help in reducing food waste across the airport, enhancing recycling efforts for a greener future, improving local air quality by cutting waste to incineration, lowering carbon emissions to support our net-zero goals, and boosting energy production through efficient waste repurposing.

We are very excited to welcome #VualaX1 at Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington.
Seeing with our own eyes the magic of VualaX1 separating food waste from other wastes automatically inside its compact bio-mechanical system...
We look forward to finding a solution which potentially allows us to store food waste for longer without smell, whilst saving collection frequency, labour and logistics costs as well as reducing 75% CO2 emission.
Also very happy to be supporting a UK based start up, founded in Cambridge and the machine manufactured in West London!"

About Us
Vuala is a bio-robotics company building the next generation of waste infrastructure.
Today, food waste is still handled like it was 100 years ago, labour-intensive, messy, and expensive. Staff deal with leaks, smells, pests, and rising costs. We automate the entire process on-site. Our robots lift and weigh food waste bins, automatically remove plastic contaminants, capture real-time data to optimise procurement, and convert waste into a stable liquid that can be stored for months without odour and used for energy.
