With the issue of waste management at the source being more relevant than ever, now seems like the perfect time to take stock of composting. This virtuous process allows you not only to reduce the volume of household waste but also to transform kitchen organic matter into fertilizer for the garden. However, while it has real advantages, the process can also have its share of drawbacks: decomposition time, unpleasant odors, attraction to animals, etc. In short, constraints that aren't always easy to deal with, especially if you don't live in a house. Of course, alternatives exist, some of which work perfectly well in apartments. These include mechanical composters, Bokashi composters, and worm composters, which are often more practical and discreet. But did you know that, across the Atlantic, there are machines capable of quickly and efficiently producing high-quality compost using a much less demanding method?
To draw inspiration from abroad
In Brazil, for example, for about fifteen years now, they have been developing a concept of accelerated recyclers/valorizers that make it possible to obtain usable agricultural fertilizer in barely 15 hours, maximum, regardless of the organic matter added, even animal matter. This is compared to several days, or even weeks, with traditional techniques. And the advantages don't stop there (see opposite).
On the French side, this "innovation" is still relatively unknown, but it should soon arrive on the market. Starting with Corsica, more precisely on the Costa Verde, where Ivan Sanches, a young Corsican-Brazilian entrepreneur in his twenties from Aléria, has just imported the concept by representing these composters with his company "MainClean".
“The idea came to me while I was at a restaurant in Brazil,” he explains. “At the end of the meal, I was given a bag filled with organic amendment. It was an initiative to raise awareness about consumption and the environment. It interested me because I thought about Corsica and the problem we have with waste. So I did some research and discovered a Portuguese/Brazilian company that sells accelerated recyclers/recovery units. I then created my own company to represent them in Europe, and now I import and market the machines for sale here and on the continent,” concludes the young entrepreneur, who is also pursuing a degree in Applied Foreign Languages in Nice.
