Food waste produces 4% of US emissions.
NJ food waste emits 4 million tons of Co2/year.
Composting can reduce that.
Government inefficiency + high service costs prevents statewide residential composting.
Cheaper prices are needed to truly implement statewide composting.
Our service, starting in Central NJ, will spread throughout the state to provide accessibly priced composting for all. Since Spring '24, TORUS has been composting food waste for residents and organizations in NJ, transporting over 90,000lbs of waste and preventing over 400K+ lbs of CO2eq emissions.

This is TORUS's main time expenditure. All other projects below are in service of this. Bi-weekly food waste pickups at an accessible cost to service all unwilling or unable to pay significantly to compost.
In Progress: TORUS, led by CFO Anthony Woo, advised by West Windsor Councilman Daniel Weiss is drafting a municipal proposal to establish a food waste drop-off location to be used by residents.
In Progress: We're working with the Canal Walk HOA and Franklin Township Environmental commission to explore servicing their residents. Success of this experiment would greatly increase the household density of our northern service area and mark a viable business model for future expansion.
In Progress: TORUS has joined the NJ Composting Council. Working closely with the President Jairo and Vice President Matthew, we're applying to grants and other funding sources to expand TORUS's service area.
