Cardboard into Compost
Just read this interesting article about a company called PayGro. They just got a big grant to work on transforming cardboard food packaging and food scraps into compost from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and other sources.
Now, Paygro processes about 13,000 tons of compost per year. With the new equipment, it should compost an additional 5,000 to 5,500 tons in food waste. The company has contracts with Dole and Rumpke Recycling and is looking at adding contracts with area colleges, Chaney said.
