In May 2001, food recycling laws were passed which enforce the recycling of waste food as resources. Many companies are pushing forward to try and build fermenting apparatus for fertilizer production. However, they have had to face a lot of problems, specially regarding hygiene, quality and usage. As the situation stands, the Okadora Cyclone Dryer and the Raw Garbage Boil & Dry Plant have proven to be the only method of achieving the target without problems. Okadora-processed end products are high in quality, safety, and they have well established distribution channels.

Plant Space (Building) |
Compact design means less space (330 m2) |
Large space needed (1,000 m2) |
Not as much space as the Wet Method but still a lot of space required (830 m2) |

Operation/ Originality |
Compact for installation anywhere and simple operating system. Treatment of all kinds of ingredients |
Difficult to maintain. Better to use when a high-value product is required. |
Difficult to maintain. Suitable only for treatment of a few animal wastes. |
Additives | None | None | A lot of topping-up oil is required to improve dehydration. |
Quality of Livestock Feed | Good | Good | Residual fat reduced to 10% but a lot of oxidized oil remains, causing a degraded quality and strong smell. |
Waste Water | None | A large amount | Not much but difficult to treat and needs high- tech apparatus for water treatment. |
Wasted Material | None | None | A lot of additives (oxidized oil) are produced. |
Smell | None | A large amount | Substantial |
