The sustainable transformation of Willow Creek Composting
The challenge
Willow Creek Composting needed a solution for their waste management to reduce costs, protect the environment and fulfil legal requirements.
Amount of waste
Within 12 weeks, over 13,000kg of fish waste was produced – with correspondingly high disposal costs for the company.
Environmental problems
Conventional disposal methods were not sufficient to get the contamination of soil and water under control.
Legal requirements
Odour and contamination problems affect surrounding communities. Following an inspection by the authorities, a different solution became necessary.
The solution
Hertzfeld has implemented the Eco Drum System. In this closed composting system, waste is now processed efficiently and in an environmentally friendly way.
High capacity
With a processing capacity of over 700kg of fish waste per day, the Eco Drum ensures efficient waste management.
Automation
The automated ventilation and temperature control ensures odour and germ elimination. And also for safe and efficient composting.
Local solution
On-site composting can now drastically cut transport costs and significantly reduce the environmental impact.
The success
By implementing the Eco Drum System, Willow Creek Composting was not only able to save costs, but also generate additional revenue.
Savings
Annual cost savings of $15,000 were achieved through lower disposal fees and lower operating costs.
Additional income
The production and sale of over 200 tonnes of high-quality compost generated revenue of $50,000 per year.
Environmental aspects
The environmental impact has been drastically reduced. Soil and water quality have been improved and CO2 emissions reduced.
