Sustainability’s Next Frontier: Upcycling Poop

Описание: The full transcript of this episode and reference materials are available at https://meaningfulimpact.com/podcast/...

Sedron Technologies is creating waste-treatment plants which convert toilet sewage and cow manure into carbon-negative electricity, safe fertilizers, and sanitized water for irrigation. Benefits include: sustainable electricity produced at lower cost than convention methods, improved agriculture crop yields, healthier farm workers, safer rural communities, lower-cost organic food, and cleaner waterways for fishing and tourism.

Sedron is neither a charity nor dependent on government grants. Instead, profit-oriented investors are funding the development of Sedron’s Varcor technology, which processes liquid waste using “10 times less energy” than less-sustainable alternatives. That innovation yields tremendous cost savings. Stanley Janicki, Sedron’s Chief Commercial Officer, describes their approach to sustainability as “capitalist environmentalism.”

If you can get over your squeamishness about poop, this episode of Meaningful Impact is actually very uplifting, featuring an interview with Stanley Janicki. He is a true Cause Champion and will inspire you.

By the way: Remember when Bill Gates drank former ‘poop water’ on the Tonight Show? That sanitized water was processed by a Sedron predecessor company. Ten years later, each Sedron treatment plant can now be scaled to process the waste produced by millions of people, or millions of gallons of cow manure.
