Tweetable description

Recycling organic waste into organic fertilizers

Cooperative profile

Progetto Centodue aims at an innovative, cheaper and environment-friendly recycling of Landfill- Organic Solid Urban Waste. The cooperative will offer the following:

  • A more streamlined recycling chain for organic solid urban waste and other organic waste – such as grass, wood, olive oil residue – using vermicomposting.
  • Recycling of manure to produce vermicompost – vermicompost has been shown to be richer in nutrients than compost produced by other methods and it is good for both indoor and outdoor organic farming.
  • Bred earthworms will be sold to produce high protein feed, as live bait for fishing or to start vermicomposting at an industrial level or even at home.

The cooperative sees vermicomposting as a way to reduce waste and to help the environment by adopting a correct and efficient treatment of organic solid urban waste – that is about 42% of the entire amount of waste produced and shows a growing trend.

Target market

The cooperative will begin working in the area known as Grecia Calabra, near Reggio Calabria, but, the business can be adapted to other areas.
Two kinds of clients/customers will be targeted according to the productive phase:

  • Local government agencies and municipalities for waste disposal services;
  • Agricultural farms, fertilizer retailers and people with gardens for soil improvers coming from vermicomposting.

Founders

The cooperative is made up of five members having different skills: economics, law, IT and agricultural science.
