The opportunity
Why this business works now
Garden services, food businesses, farms and other organisations need alternatives to sending suitable organic material to landfill. A composting operation can receive separated feedstock, manage the composting cycle and sell finished products to growers, landscapers and retailers. The plan explains supply, processing, testing, packaging and sales.
Feedstock and product income
The model can combine collection or gate fees with compost sales.
Bulk and retail markets
Finished compost can serve farms, landscapers and garden customers.
Controlled production cycle
Sorting, moisture, temperature and turning support consistent output.
