Solution

Mid-Atlantic Recycling, LLC&#8217’s main business is to collect, compile, and market municipal waste. This waste can then be used as a consumer good. This recycled product will address two important needs:

  1. It will give municipalities a feasible and cost effective alternative to landfilling the waste, and
  2. It will also help to meet the growing demand organic soil enrichers and fertilizers. It is made up of human waste sludge.

Market

Both ends of the supply chain will reap the benefits of our products and services. Municipalities will benefit from our service by having an alternative means of waste disposal. The compost product can also be beneficial for homeowners, landscaping professionals, landscapers or fertilizer manufacturers. Two main markets are available to us: waste treatment facilities who will benefit from our services, and consumers who will profit from our product.

According to the Worldwatch Institute, landfills are overflowing while disposal costs for sewage and garbage are rising. Leaders of cities can ease the pressure on municipalities, reduce pollution and aid farmers in building healthier soils. 13 U.S. states are within 6 years of having all of their landfills full. (Paper 135 Recycling Organic Waste: from Urban Pollutants to Farm Resource. We provide a service that allows municipalities to dispose of their wastes without them having to land fill. This service is very valuable to the customer.

The users of our compost make up the other half of our process. According to Cornell University (www.cals.cornell.edu/dept/compost.feas.study.html) composting is experiencing a resurgence of activity which is driven by increased understanding of the agronomic benefits of compost utilization, and rising disposal costs for municipal wastes. Also, according to Purdue University (www.ctic.purdue.edu/Core4/Nutrient/ManureMgt/Paper35.html) consumption of compost in the commercial market is growing due to people looking for a more organic or natural substitute for traditional chemical fertilizers. This trend is rapidly growing in the Mid-Atlantic USA. Recycling has been a leader in responding. In the beginning, we will sell compost to landscapers, nursery owners, and fertilizer producers. We already have commitments from a fertilizer manufacturer and a landscaper to purchase 600 tons per year or more of our compost material.

We identified five major markets for compost:

  • Agriculture (for food and nonfood crops and sod farms).
  • Landscapers (for commercial and industrial properties; golf courses and cemeteries; athletic fields; and covers for landfills; and damaged soils).
  • Nurseries (for plant and forest seedling crops and reforestation projects).
  • Public agencies (for highway median strips, parks, recreational areas, and other public property).
  • Residents (for home landscaping and gardening).

Concurrence

Our service offers a feasible, even desirable, alternative to traditional means of disposing of human waste. Our product is a soil enhancer with value that appeals to consumers’ growing environmental consciousness. Direct competition is almost nonexistent. We aim to be the economical, logical choice in human waste disposal and compost manufacturing in West Virginia.
