WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS WE CAN GAIN FROM USING A COMPOSTER?
BENEFITS FOR THE MUNICIPALITY
The benefits are many, starting with the elimination of the costs of transporting and processing organic waste to large composting plants. This cost affects small municipalities and those far from composting plants the most.
This is an important saving because the organic fraction in municipal waste is the largest component, in weight terms, of the waste produced and, due to the high collection frequency required, it represents the first cost item out of the different types of separate waste collection after the residual fraction.
• Possibility of using the compost produced for municipal green areas
• Possibility to reduce waste tax and/or devolve the saved sums to other services for the public
BENEFITS FOR CITIZENS
Possibility to benefit from rebates on waste tax
Possibility to place wet waste in the machine at any time, avoiding having to keep inconvenient and hygienically unpleasant waste at home
Increased civic sense: responsibility and awareness of contributing to the protection of the environment
ADVANTAGES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Increased soil fertility.
The environment benefits directly as our soils are becoming more and more carbon-poor, and the desertification index continues to rise.
Compost is a very useful natural fertiliser in this regard, as it brings nutrients to the soil, making it soft and porous, and thus increasing its ability to trap water.
Compost has a long-term fertilising effect, superior to cow manure. The micro-organism flora fights diseases and pests.
Reduced CO2 emissions.
The on-site composting process enables the reduction of transport costs to large disposal centres.
• The construction of new waste disposal plants is avoided.
• Compost is produced through a completely natural process that does not release methane or CO2 gas into the environment.
• System sanitation is ensured by the high temperatures that develop as a result of the aerobic process.
0 km composting
A virtuous example of the circular economy in which organic waste re-enters the natural cycle to the benefit of the environment
ECONOMIC ADVANTAGES
Reduced the costs for the transport and treatment of organic material.
This cost affects small municipalities and those far from composting plants the most. This is an important saving because the organic fraction in municipal waste is the largest component, in weight terms, of the waste produced and, due to the high collection frequency required, it represents the first cost item out of the different types of separate waste collection after the residual fraction.
For Public Authorities: possibility to access tenders for the purchase of equipment and to reduce waste tax, devolving the sums saved to other services for citizens.
For Private Organisations: possibility to access benefits of the National Industry 4.0 Plan, which allows access to depreciation benefits and at the same time, total control of the machine remotely and in real time.
Possibility to use the compost produced for own green areas
Low running costs and ease of use.
