Turning Trash Into Cash

We are seeking the Funding for a new large scale food composting facility to serve the Lower Hudson River Valley region, over 2 million people.

We're looking for people who are skilled in getting investors.  We've got the cutting edge composting technology.  Whether you are an investor with vision, or know how to attract visionary investors, there is money to be made here, while providing massive benefits to society and our environment.

You can read the executive Summary by clicking here.  It includes a list of some of our competitive advantages and some references.

Since waste is a massive problem urgently needing our technology, as soon as the first facility is up and running, we expect to replicate it around the world.

In the current economy, there are many different scenarios that can bring this project to where it will provide massive value to society and our environment, and also earn a nice ROI for the investors.

There are many "safeties" built into the plan.  We think from 'both sides of the table', from the perspective of those putting up the equity.  Our income will come from earned profits, not 'fat' salaries.

About May 9th, 2009, Peninsula Composting announced the beginning of construction of a new $20 million food and yard waste composting facility in South Wilmington, Delaware. The figures look like they are projecting $125 capital investment, per ton of annual capacity.  The projections for our facility, including aerated concrete pad, with a massive Dynamic Bio-filter system for elimination of foul odors; all under roof, is $78.49, per ton of annual capacity.  Why will we be so much more capital efficient?  As you learn more about us, you'll find out.  The most significant feature of the Peninsula Composting project is that it is proof that investors are ready to invest in food composting facilities on the East Coast.

There is a similarity to, for example, a car manufacturing factory.  Small scale is very expensive, there is economy to scale.  If the plant works 40 hours a week, or 168 hours a week, there is the same capital investment to be amortized over the number of cars built per week.  Composting is different in that the microbes work 24/7, but there are a lot of elements that are essential, that, when amortized over large volume, make the whole operation a lot more financially attractive.

How much equity capital we'll need depends on how much mortgage leveraging we can get.   Our real production workers are microbes, and if not treated respectfully, they can raise a big stink, outrage neighbors, and get a facility shut down.  Lack of respect for the microbes and neighbors is a recipe for disaster.  On the other hand, those who have genuine respect for all the workers, including the microbes, and also the neighbors, can lead a composting facility to significant well earned profits.

During a recession,  a project like this is particularly attractive because it is Vital Regional Infrastructure. Good times and bad, waste has to be managed. This will provide a more economical, and sustainable option, compared to land fills & incinerators.

bulletAre you skilled at achieving funding for Environmentally Friendly Projects that can be very profitable and self sustaining, even during an economic recession?
bulletAre you inwardly motivated to support projects that will be great for humanity and our environment?
bulletWould you like to have significant long term residual income as your reward for setting up the funding for a project that will be great for humanity and the environment?

scat4932.jpg (78159 bytes)We're looking for one or more people who can help us get the funding for a new 'state of the art' composting facility, designed to primarily accept the organic residuals that come out the back doors of restaurants, supermarkets and other food related establishments. 

Total cost of the facility is projected to be $17 million, plus $2.5 million for equipment which ought to be able to be acquired through off balance sheet lease / purchase.  $15 million is for the land and construction of the facility.  We expect to get 50% of the funding through debt financing, mortgages,  (leaving out the lease / purchase equipment part). 

Few Industries get paid to accept their raw materials, and then get paid for their finished product.    In composting the way we propose, about 80% of the income is front end, getting paid to accept our raw materials.   And... the general practice is for the 'tipping fees' to be COD, which, of course helps cash flow.

It's been said that One person's trash can be another person's Cash.  A vital key in composting is to treat it like a business, focusing on feedstocks that have a relatively high alternative cost of disposal, which is what controls what tipping fee we can command.

 

Do you know about the man who sat in front of the fireplace, and said to the fireplace: "Give me heat, and then I will give you wood".

We're looking for someone / people who have the ability and determination to achieve the goal, and are willing to bet on their achieving results, for a share of the profits from success.  Results are what count, and what we are about.  We're about Excellence.

If this facility were a public project, it would probably have a price tag at least twice what we believe we can build it for.    See "Economics" for more information.

We're talking about a 3 acre concrete pad, with forced aeration built into the concrete pad, all under roof, 60,000 cubic feet per minute of aeration capacity to take good care of our microbial master composters.  We're talking about pristine landscaping so the facility looks like a plush botanical garden.   That landscaping will demonstrate that our MagicbioSoil produces premium plant performance, and be a key part of our finished product marketing, as well as public relations.
