Compost365 accelerates the shift to CE by introducing 24-hour composting solutions near restaurants. These compact composters turn food waste into nutrient-rich soil, creating a restaurant
based circular economy with flows both into and out of restaurants.
The project deepens understanding of: A) barriers to composting near restaurants, B) management of steady soil outputs, and C) new business opportunities regarding composters and distributing soil.
Map and develop ideas for municipalities, gardens, farms, landscaping companies and consumers and assess compost demand, logistic requirements, and business opportunities for the extract.
We will achieve a deeper understanding of: A) barriers to composting near restaurants, B) management of steady soil outputs, and C) new business opportunities regarding composters and distributing soil.
The impact should be in seeing how to the composted soil contains macronutrients (N, P, K), trace elements (Mn, Cu, Fe, Zn), and beneficial microbes, improving real CE in communities and reducing reliance on mined fertilizers from abroad, like Russia, for example.
