Along with Liverpool FC,Iugis also signed deals with popular Sydney grocery chain Harris Farm Markets as well as high-end restaurant Longrain Melbourne,Woolworths,Stockland and San Lorenzo Wine&Dining in Melbourne as well as several catering businesses in the UK.
Iugis’s customers have been left in the lurch after the first set of administrators to the Iugis business laid off all staff. There are currently about 200 of its machines operating which convert organic food waste into water within 24 hours.

Longrain Melbourne general manager Natasha Firman said the Iugis products were fantastic and help reduce the venue’s carbon footprint. “We literally got an email the other week from the account manager saying that the business was in administration and administrators would be in touch. We haven’t heard anything since.”
San Lorenzo Wine and Dining restaurant director Frank Ciorciari said he was told his restaurant in eastern Melbourne was among the first venues to have the machines installed.
“They were going to use the site for research,” Mr Ciorciari said. “It was one of the first ones to go in,then they were going to use that data to sell them to other restaurants.
“There was no payment,they just took over our bins.”
