Editor's Notes
- On December 1 st , the Peninsula Compost Group opened what will be the largest composting facility in the US. At 500 TPD , 160,000 tons a year the facility signals a new era for material recovery and opportunity to achieve zero waste in the Delaware Valley. While curbside collection of organics is still several years away, food waste collection for composting is here NOW for food processors, supermarkets, restaurants, hospitals, Universities and other large food waste generators. What are the options for Food Waste Management among institutional and commercial facilities? What do we need to do in preparation?

- There are two main types of composting, aerobic and anaerobic. Anaerobic composting basically consists of piling up a bunch of organic materials, then letting them sit and rot.. Anaerobic bacteria are slow and inefficient, which means that your compost pile will have to sit there for at least a year, maybe longer, before the materials at the very bottom are fully composted. Second of all, microbes that do the decaying in anaerobic composting produce methane and sulfate gasses as a byproduct, something which we humans find very offensive. If you've always thought of composting as a smelly and gross process, now is the time to make an important clarification: it's anaerobic composting that's a smelly and gross process. Aerobic composting is an entirely different process. Just as the name would suggest, aerobic composting requires air, specifically oxygen, to complete its process. Aerobic bacteria are very efficient. They break down organic matter very rapidly, often times completing the full composting process in less than 6 weeks. Furthermore, aerobic microbes don't give off smelly gasses, which means that aerobic composting is a virtually odorless process! Benefits Adds beneficial microorganisms to the soil and promotes a dynamic and diverse soil food web Increases soil health Increases plant disease resistance Increases soil water holding capacity and reduces soil erosion Improves soil compaction and increases aeration Buffers the soil pH Adds nutrients to the soil that are slowly available to plants Provides a manure management program
