Three interactive tools built on 25 years of organics recycling experience — free to use, no login required. Indicative figures to inform your planning conversations before committing to detailed design.
Use them in sequence — understand the technology landscape, assess your feedstock risk, then size your processing area. Each tool is designed to surface the right questions early, before costly assumptions get built into a design.
Maps nine composting and organic waste processing technologies — from open windrow to anaerobic digestion — across four dimensions that matter most at the early planning stage.
Select your feedstock characteristics — type, contamination, variability, moisture, and pathogen risk — to generate a scored risk profile and indicative technology recommendations.
Enter your weekly input tonnage, processing cycle length, and system type to get an indicative processing pad size and layout diagram. Covers windrow and static pile with adjustable parameters.
These tools work best used in sequence — each one builds context for the next.
Use the Processing Spectrum to understand what's out there and where different systems sit on cost and risk — before you commit to a direction.
Use the Risk Profiler to assess your intended input stream. High-risk feedstocks narrow your technology options significantly — better to know early.
Once you have a technology direction, use the Sizing Calculator to get a rough pad footprint. Check it against your available land before going further.
When the indicative numbers look workable — or the complexity starts to show — a site-specific assessment adds real value.
These tools surface the right questions. Answering them accurately for your specific site, feedstock, regulatory environment and budget is where 25 years of hands-on experience makes the difference.
