The Opportunity

BRINKS_INC_truck01.gif (13930 bytes)Is there money to be made in composting? Absolutely... and the key is to be innovative, committed to being a good neighbor, and paying a lot of attention to the microbiology of composting.  After all, it is the microbes that are the master composters, that do the composting.  Our opportunity is to support them, provide them with good working conditions.

bulletThe kind of person/people we are looking for are skilled at getting
funding for projects like ours; and therefore are willing to take on the
task for 'delayed gratification' because they know that they can achieve
the results that will provide for their rewards.
bulletOur strategy is to build and operate the first facility, to make it a full
scale demonstration of what composting can be; and then to duplicate
it, owning and operating each facility.  The profits are not simply 'paper'
profits, but rather from providing value to humanity, and the environment,
well earned operating profits

Many municipalities are half heartedly trying to compost their yard waste, leaves, brush, and the like.  When the microbes aren't getting the job done fast enough, it is usually because they aren't being provided favorable working conditions. 

If the microbes are raising a big stink, if there are foul odors, that is proof that the process is not being well managed.  There is a good chance that if you were deprived of oxygen, that your biology would change significantly, and that you would, before long, begin to stink.

bulletMaybe because the microbes are too small for us to see with the naked
eye, most people have neglected to give enough attention to the
microbiology part of composting.
bulletMany of the manufacturers of compost turning machines claim that their
machines will enable keeping the compost aerobic.    We believed that,
until we bought an oxygen meter and started doing cross section profile
oxygen monitoring.   See some of our information on oxygen by clicking
here.
bulletMost private composters target yard waste,which doesn't command as
high tipping fees as food residuals.  Nor does yard waste have the
biological potential for being able to complete the composting process
as fast as food residuals, when the composting process is aggressively
managed.
bulletTraditionally one of the hardest parts of starting a new composting facility
is achieving the local permitting.  We have two towns that have said they
would like to have us locate within their town.  Winning such local support
was earned.  We're committed to being a good neighbor, an asset to the town. 
bulletWith on-going R&D, we will continue to expand our competitive edge.  By
having our own research department, we get maximum return on our
investment in research, as compared to hiring it out to universities where
there is often a 65% university overhead burden, so there is only 35¢ of
research per dollar invested.
