Commercial Compost Design Service
We love collaborating with clients early in the process to explore and shape viable business models. This critical phase of project development helps set a clear vision for success—or sometimes reveals that a project may not be feasible. Either way, we provide valuable insights to guide informed decisions.
Our goal is to bring projects to life, but we prioritize honest assessments and strategic planning to ensure our clients move forward with confidence.

How to develop a compost project basis of design:
Since 1999, ECS has worked with a wide variety of clients, in different geographies, with unique regulatory conditions, and a diverse array of feedstocks. Our first step in the feasibility process revolves around understanding the project drivers and discussion what success looks like. The following topics are frequently analyzed with our feasibility studies:
- Analyzing the feedstock composition and characteristics
- Quantifying and modelling Emissions & Odor
- Identify and compare appropriate composting technologies
- Identify site layout and material flow
- Estimate Capital Expenses, provide scope of work
- Modeling Operational Expense – collaborative tool,
- Generate Income Statement and calculate financial returns (pro forma)
- Researching Compost Marketability, Supply/Demand, and Sales Prices
- Researching Bulking Agent Availability, Cost, and Suitability
- Modeling Contaminate Removal Scenarios
Some of the design feasibility and development services we offer include:
