...The power of the Negative Raw Material Cost
...The grandfather of negative raw material costs: Composting...
The application of control is what distinguishes composting from the natural rotting and other decomposition that generally occurs...
landfills are designed to be extremely compact, thus limiting the circulation of oxygen. "Landfill gas" is one of the by-products of anaerobic decomposition and is comprised primarily of carbon dioxide and methane. This effect is so extreme that the anaerobic decomposition of organic waste is the #1 producer of methane gas in the US. Methane not only smells like fart, but is also the most potent of all the greenhouse gases (it contributes 25 times more to climate change than carbon dioxide).
However, if we were to take the same banana peel and place it into a compost pile it would undergo decomposition with oxygen (or aerobic decomposition). In such an aerobic system the decomposition process relies on aerobic bacteria that break down the organic matter into humus, without any harmful gas emissions. More over, the end product, humus or compost, is a fantastic plant growth agent. Just listen to any expert gardener and they will tell you that the solution to any gardening problem lies with compost.
Other than the environmental benefit to composting (reduction of garbage in our landfills and in turn, the reduction of methane) there is a tremendous economic benefit, and thus, the fundamentals of a modern eco-capitalist business model.
In New Jersey, a landfill charges on average $90 to deposit one ton of garbage. On a national basis we produce roughly 12 and 14 billion tons of waste annually of which over 80% is organic...Since the composting industry magazine, BioCycle, conducted its first "State of Garbage" survey in 1989, the number of industrial composting sites across America has increased from 651 in 1988, to 1,407 in 1990, to 2,981 in 1992. Today there are over 4,000 sites across the United States...
