Assistance to NGO

The recycling of organic into a useful soil amendment is a global issue. World wide we dispose of over 40% of everything we grow. If this was recycled into worm castings and used to enhance the world soils it would assist in eleveating poverty by providing low cost organic matter to increase yields.

One can make the case that a resort in a holiday destination could recycle their organics on site producing worm castings that can then be given to the local farmers. In turn the local farmers grow produce to be sold to the hotel. The hotel wins by eliminating their waste cost and they in turn support the local agricultural communisty

Useful Material

This is an important comments in that is refocussed the idea of organics as valuable. In reality it is not organic "waste" but rather an organic "asset".

new project

this project is very good. the strenght of this project is recylcing the waste and reuse it.

Municipal

One of the biggest issues a municipality has is the disposal of sewage solids or cake. This by far is one of the largest organic waste streams and of course is one not mentioned in the main stream. Currently many municipalities land apply sewage sludge or cake. Land applying of this material is becoming a major health concern. There is many examples in other world juristiction where the use of worms has created a safer land application product. We envision the CSR+ Worm Works unit and process to play a part in the human biosolids recycling industry.

I see the Industrial/Commercial application. How do you envision a municipality using your system?

Great approach that is a win win.

This proposal has a number of positives not least of which is that it creates sustainable commercial products as a result of the program. Great idea.

Solution to a growing problem

Currently over 40% of what is grown is thrown away. To grow this produce required nutrients from the earth. In the past organics were recycled and returned to the ground to add the nutrients back. Modern day practises in urban areas where a large percentage of food waste is created started discarding the organics via landfill or incineration. More recently efforts have been make to compost the organic discards but generally these operations are far from the urban community. What is required is a method of recycling organic close to the point of waste creation and then further be able to produce an end product that can be used as a highly effective soil amendment close to the urban area. The CSR+ WormWorks unit and process addresses both those activities.

Great Concept!

its a great outcome for waste management.....

Thanks, not only composted but transformed into a more valuable soil amendment. The efficacy of worm castings significantly outperforms compost. As an example worm castings contain 30+ trace mineral that were created by the worm gut. Additionally the worm cast is surrounded by a membrane secretion which makes the cast hydrophylic. Worm casts contain 5 - 9 times the amount of water than top soil and releases the water as the plant requires it. The use of castings in a growing medium mix germinates seeds more quickly, creates a healthier and intense root ball and more fruit or product per plant. From an income perspective where high quality compost produces an income stream of $35 per ton, worm castings demand $300 - $2000 per ton.
