EcoScraps’ Solution to Improving the Environment

A message from EcoScraps CEO and founder, Daniel Blake

“We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” ~Native American Proverb

At EcoScraps we understand how important it is to preserve nature not only for ourselves, but also for future generations. It is shocking to hear the statistics of how much pollution is in the air, the amount of food being wasted daily and what is happening to the soil we grow our crops. Instead of standing by watching our environment get worse, we decided to do something about it. We created EcoScraps, to help resolve this problem.

The Problem:

Every year Americans throw away over 30 million tons of food; this is almost ¼ of all landfill waste. To help you visualize this, imagine filling the Rose Bowl Stadium once every three days with nothing but food waste. This statistic is shocking. We as Americans waste too much food, and we are clogging our landfills unnecessarily. However, food waste creates a much bigger problem than just filling up our landfills. As this food sits and decomposes in our landfills (or anywhere else) it releases the greenhouse gases.

Greenhouse gases such as, Carbon Dioxide, CO2, capture and retain heat in the atmosphere. CO2 emissions from all the cars account for 13 percent of all greenhouse gases. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says methane, another greenhouse gas, is 20 times more damaging to the environment than CO2. Landfills and rotting food are the number one source of methane emissions. Food waste creates almost as much methane as cars produce CO2!

EcoScraps’ Solution:

At EcoScraps we recycle food waste by converting it into a highly nutritious soil based fertilizer. Our all-natural process eliminates all methane emissions from the food we collect. A cubic foot bag of our finished product reduces greenhouse gasses as much as parking your car for one month! Instead of clogging landfills and gassing the air we breathe, EcoScraps products enrich our soil, helping us grow healthier plants in the most environmentally friendly way.
