Thousands of anaerobic
digesters provide organic waste management in Europe, dozens operate on
domestic farms, and virtually every municipal wastewater treatment plant has
utilized similar technology for decades.
However, no domestic business entity to date has captured the full array
of benefits (renewable fertilizers + energy production) of these proven systems
that are ideally suited for duplication on commercial dairies, piggeries and
chicken ranches, in addition to the myriad food processing facilities whose
organic wastes remain a grossly underutilized resource.
Stewardsmith®
(Portland, Oregon) was formed to stand in the gap by optimizing the cooperation of the leading global subsystem
providers in order to define a comprehensive, proven, efficient and simplified
approach to the production of BOTH clean renewable energy AND organic soil
amendments for profit. By
integrating ONLY globally-proven and robust technologies to pioneer the joint
commercial production of clean Renewable Energy AND Organic Fertilizers
from common organic waste feedstocks, Stewardsmith®
envisions the mitigation of serious environmental, air & water quality and
odor problems while converting otherwise problematic wastes into valuable
commodities to be sold into established and sanctioned markets.
