Projects

A growing number of regions – particularly those with large urban centers – face significant waste management problems, including diminished landfill capacity and difficulty siting and operating incinerators. Organic waste alone accounts for 10 to 15 percent of the national solid waste stream. Composting is an appealing option for organic waste management on a small scale, but land use requirements and environmental challenges such as odor and transportation requirements make it extremely difficult to implement on a larger scale.

State and local governments are under tremendous pressure to find alternative, cost-effective ways to manage their waste. For many, recycling and reuse is an increasingly attractive option. Converted Organics seeks to advance state and local waste management objectives through the use of an advanced organic waste processing technology that manufactures a valuable biostimulant (an organic replacement for harmful fertilizers) using large organic waste streams as a feedstock. We are currently developing three such projects in the Northeastern United States.

Northern New Jersey

Northern New Jersey (Metro NYC) generates thousands of tons of organic waste each day and faces critical waste management challenges. Converted Organics has identified a location in Keasbey, Woodbridge Township, Middlesex County, NJ for a biostimulant manufacturing facility.

On October 21, 2004 the Chosen Freeholders of Middlesex County voted unanimously to amend the County Solid Waste Disposal plan to include a 500 ton a day facility owned and operated by Converted Organics (formerly Mining Organics Management, LLC).

The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) has been presented with information about the proposed facility and on April 26th 2007 issued the building permits. The review required verification of data about the environmental performance of the equipment to be used in the facility. It should be noted most of the proposed equipment has previously been approved by the NJDEP for use in other facilities.

The Town of Woodbridge has reviewed and approved the site plans for the proposed facility. The plant has been permitted and is under construction.

For Turf Less Can Be More

Says Cornell Study

Cornell University, under the direction of Prof. Frank Rossi, has completed two years of study using products to be produced by Converted Organics Inc. What Dr. Rossi found was that using these products allows professional turf managers to reduce chemical inputs by half or more without jeopardizing championship results. The studies evaluated both turf grass quality and effectiveness in suppressing common diseases such as dollar spot, brown patch and anthracnose.
