Organic Waste Solutions
Bridging the Sustainability Gap
IMPACT
Environmental benefits Energy savings, increased demand and quality of recycled materials, no landfill emissions, minimized carbon footprint, water resource protection, regulatory excellence, local product that protect resources.
Benefits to community or society Improved safety, community awareness, community engagement, jobs created.
Economic benefits No landfill tipping fees, no landfill hauling costs, recycling cost saving, increased quality of recyclables, increased quantity of recyclables, more effective and efficient recycling, improved collection method, reduced recycling costs, ability to achieve 90+% recycling rates, costs stay in the local economy.
SCALABILITY
Accelerated Biological Organic Processing, (ABOP) can thrive below capacity and quickly expand to max capability if a hurricane or other disaster changes the need. An ABOP system, built for a current need, are adjusted as populations vary. Low capital/operating costs make a hub and spoke system highly effective. Low capital and operating costs, local operation by local people, and operational flexibility make Accelerated Biological Organic Processing, (ABOP) a great fit anywhere.
FEASIBILITY
Financial feasibility is illustrated by processing costs under $30 a ton and a superior product (humus), which is worth more than $30 per ton. All the costs, the jobs, and the profits stay in the community. Tipping fees, most hauling cost, and liability of landfill/WTE are eliminated by diversion. Suitable feedstock makes up about 63% of US MSW and less organics increases the value of the other 37%. The carbon footprint is slashed, like costs. Accelerated Biological Organic Processing, (ABOP) will operate for many decades and are designed to be rebuilt/upgraded by the decade. An advanced aerobic processor can grow with the community and the changing needs that are developed as the community moves away from the current bad options and embraces the diversion, saving, and environmental stewardship of ABOP
APPROACH
A lifecycle based, holistic view illustrates the vastly improved paradigm of Accelerated Biological Organic Processing, (ABOP). The liability, emissions, wasted energy, and costs of landfill/WTE systems are avoided. The cost and pollution of hauling is minimized. Sustainability, local engagement, instant success, superior local product sales/use, a 90+% recycling rate, local remediation, and replacing costs with profit gives a stark, lopsided analysis. The competition is expensive, negatively efficient monopolies that expose our kids to debt, toxic liabilities, and divert current resources out of communities.
