Sustainability's Next Frontier: Upcycling Poop

Show Notes

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."
