The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that there are 25,642 domestic companies engaged in food production and another 100,311 engaged in food distribution.  Growers, producers, packagers, wholesalers, retailers, cafeteria services and restaurants all produce a significant volume of biodegradable waste that could be converted into valuable resources.

As an example, a typical full-service grocery store generates between 1 and 3 tons of food waste each day - almost 1,100 tons every year.  When the thousands of stores across the country are taken into account, it becomes obvious that the conversion of food waste into valuable compost can have an enormous, positive impact on diverting waste from landfills and incinerators.

Significant opportunities for corporate good will, environmental control and cost savings exist when using on-site composting in schools as well as university and corporate cafeterias.  According to recent studies, the average American throws away 474.5 pounds of food waste each year.  With 72.1 million people enrolled in U.S. schools and colleges and over 113 million paid employees working in American firms and establishments, a successful biodegradable waste diversion program will have a large impact on pollution and waste management costs. 

Experience shows that food waste generated during the production, marketing and consumption phases of most operations could be easily collected and converted into a premium, marketable resource.
