Power Knot LFC Biodigesters Earn Kosher Certification with Sabbath Mode Compliance

FREMONT, Calif., June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Power Knot LLC, the market leader in on-site organic waste management solutions, is proud to announce that its range of LFC® biodigesters has received Kosher Certification from Star-K Kosher Certification, a globally recognized authority on kosher compliance. This milestone enhances the accessibility of sustainable food waste solutions for facilities that observe religious laws.

The Kosher Certification of Compliance confirms that the LFC biodigesters meet halachic requirements for use in environments that observe the Sabbath and Jewish holidays, enabling operation without violating prohibitions on work. The certification followed a comprehensive review of the system's automation, software, and control architecture to ensure full compatibility with religious observance.

"This certification is an important step in making sustainable waste management more inclusive," said Iain Milnes, President of Power Knot. "With the LFC biodigester now certified for Sabbath Mode, hotels, kibbutzim, kosher facilities, schools, and hospitals can seamlessly integrate environmentally responsible food waste treatment without compromising religious practices."

The LFC biodigester is a fully automated, on-site machine that digests food waste using a biological process, significantly reducing landfill contributions and cutting greenhouse gas emissions. With models processing between 10 kg (25 lb) and 6000 kg (13,200 lb) of food waste per day, the LFC biodigester is ideal for commercial kitchens or food service providers.

The new Sabbath Mode feature includes:

• Pre-programmed operation for non-intervention during Sabbath or Yom Tov
• Assured safety for the operator
• Non-intrusive status indicators in compliance with halachic standards
