Ecoscraps Makes Compost from Food Waste
Did you know that each year Americans throw away more than 30 million tons of food waste and that this waste accounts for nearly a quarter of all landfill waste?
Today I learned about a company that is trying to profit from this trend.
EcoScraps makes organic compost from food waste that they collect for free.
EcoScraps collects food waste, which would otherwise be thrown away, and through a completely organic process turns it into high quality soil conditioner.
According to the company, “this soil conditioner has the same nutrient values as chemical based soil amendments while being organic. Our products are composed of ingredients selected and combined in scientifically determined proportions to produce ideal nutrient and organic content to the soil.”

I love it! Some time back you mentioned a company that collected compost materials for a fee and the people received some of the finished product later. All I could imagine were the people willing to just give away compost materials for free, and the money available there. It seems this company had already snagged my thought. :-)
In addition to collecting free compost, it would be nice if they offered a discount coupon to the people who give them over a set amount. Then the people would feel like they received something in return, and they would have incentive to buy some of the compost later.

One question. If this person is collecting foodscraps from the public (good idea) how can he be certain that the food scraps he recieves are INDEED “organic”?
