We Compost It! - Revolutionizing the Way We Handle Food Waste
We Compost It is a commercial composting and food waste collection business based in Southern and Central Maine. The company was founded with a mission to reduce the amount of food waste that ends up in landfills, which contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. With their innovative approach to composting, We Compost It has become a leading player in the industry, providing sustainable solutions for businesses and individuals alike.
The Problem with Food Waste
Food waste is a significant problem worldwide, with an estimated 1.3 billion tons of food being wasted every year. In the United States alone, it is estimated that up to 40% of all food produced goes uneaten. This not only represents a significant loss of resources but also contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions.
When organic matter such as food waste ends up in landfills, it decomposes anaerobically (without oxygen), producing methane gas – a potent greenhouse gas that is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 100-year period. Methane emissions from landfills account for around 20% of all methane emissions globally.
The Solution: Commercial Composting
Composting is an effective way to reduce the amount of organic matter that ends up in landfills while also producing nutrient-rich soil amendments for use in agriculture and landscaping. However, traditional backyard composting methods are not suitable for large-scale operations or businesses.
This is where commercial composting comes into play – specialized facilities designed specifically for processing large volumes of organic material quickly and efficiently while minimizing odors and other potential issues associated with traditional backyard composting methods.
We Compost It offers commercial composting services tailored specifically to meet the needs of businesses throughout Southern and Central Maine. Their state-of-the-art facility can process up to 10 tons of organic material per day using advanced technology designed to maximize efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
