"Recycling" is a process that changes or reconditions an item that is no longer useful back into the system for further use. Much of recycling is "downcycling," that is, turning the material into a substance with less value that it originally possessed. Plastics and mixed metals are examples of items commonly downcycled. "Upcycling" is a process that transforms the item into something more valuable than it was at the start...
Working toward zero waste
San Francisco has been upcycling its dog waste into an alternative energy source since January 2006. The city is depositing tons of the material into an anaerobic digester, which uses bacteria to convert organic waste into methane gas. The gas is then captured and burned to produce energy in the form of electricity and natural gas. Dogs in the Bay Area produce an estimated 6,500 tons of waste - nearly 4% of total landfill waste - every year. This project is helping the city reach its goal of diverting 75 percent of its waste from landfills by 2010 and achieve zero landfill waste by 2020.
An inexpensive alternative
An easy, low-cost way to upcycle organic material is to simply compost it. To work its magic, composting requires only biologically derived matter, air, a bit of warmth, moisture, hungry organisms, and a person skilled at the practice...

...DOGGONE GOOD COMPOST® is prepared only by professionals under large-scale commercial conditions. Each batch of compost is thoroughly tested for all pathogens harmful to people and pets. As an added precaution, the compost is recommended for flowers and shrubs, not fruit and vegetable gardens.
DOGGONE GOOD COMPOST® is also continually evaluated to ensure that it contains components that will rejuvenate soil and provide nutrients productive to healthy plant root and foliage development. Dog waste is much higher in nitrogen than farm animal manure. Bacteria and fungi use nitrogen for the key function of protein synthesis during the composting process.
DOGGONE GOOD COMPOST® contains composted dog manure, pine bark, natural enzymes and mychorrizae for vigorous root growth...
