LombriTec

Originally a dairy farm, LombriTec has grown into far more than that. One of the first issues they wanted to tackle in order to be more sustainable was the disposal of manure. Before, it was thrown into the river and washed away with large amounts of water. Now, all the water that is used for cleaning is filtered back into tanks which they use to process the manure into compost. The manure is turned into compost after separating solids and water through aerobic fermentation. LombriTec then have diners give them their food waste to put into the compost, decreasing the possible release of methane. Now, they sell this compost to consumers instead of simply washing away the manure.
