There is a WorldWide need for environmentally sound methods of recycling organic waste. Millions of tons of organic waste are produced daily in many different forms; such as, organic residual sludge from sewage treatment plants, yardwaste and tree trimmings, wood crates and pallets, waste from food processing plants, restaurant food waste, etc. The practices of disposing of this waste in the oceans, landfills, or by incineration are all environmentally polluting and becoming more and more restricted. Newly implemented law favor recycling, which is simply converting this waste back into a high quality soil supplement (compost).

There is an emerging market in compost, composting systems, invessel-composting, mechanical composting, recycling of waste, garbage, food wastes and sewage sludge.Major cities around the nation are actively searching for cost effective methods to recycle organic waste.

Many cities have set up open pile yardwaste composting facilities and are learning first hand the difficulties of composting on a large scale. Even when piles are enclosed in buildings and material handling is mechanized, the size of the buildings required and the slow processing speed of composting in this manner make it difficult to control odors and also result in low production rates. This has caused numerous major project failures.
