Nature?EUR??,,????'???s Solution to Solid Waste Management

The 14th annual ?EUR??,,????'??State of Garbage in America?EUR??,,????'?? study, a nationwide survey conducted by the Earth Engineering Center of Columbia University and BioCycle magazine, reports that 65.6 percent of U.S. solid wastes go to landfills; 25.7 percent are recycled; and 7.7 percent are combusted in waste-to-energy plants.

There are ways to mitigate the mass of solid wastes we generate instead of dumping them into the ground. Dr. Paul Olivier, president of Engineering Separation Recycling (ESR) has a natural solution?EUR??,,????'??+black soldier fly larvae.

?EUR??,,????'??Why should we not recycle food waste, human waste, chicken waste, pig waste and many other types of putrescent waste when nature provides us with an abundance of soldier fly larvae, red worms and earthworms??EUR??,,????'?? Dr. Olivier asks.

Dr. Olivier claims that his company?EUR??,,????'???s bio-conversion larvae process, using ?EUR??,,????'??one of the most efficient recyclers that nature has to offer,?EUR??,,????'?? quickly reduces the volume, weight and odor of waste; blocks production of greenhouse gases; integrates nutrients back into the food chain; and recycles waste in a natural way. Dr. Olivier asserts that larval bioconversion eliminates over 95 percent of solid waste and produces residual matter that can be used in a variety of applications, including vermiculture for earthworms.

ESR?EUR??,,????'???s ?EUR??,,????'??conversion units?EUR??,,????'?? have a two foot diameter base (for home use) and a larger commercial unit with a three foot diameter base.
