Lawrenceville Students Zikang, Anthony, Matthew and David founded TORUS at ages 17 and 16.
TORUS relies heavily on donations from our community, micro-grants, and sponsors to maintain and expand our service.
TORUS's team consists of 10 students, drivers, and volunteers, working to provide accessible composting to all New Jersey residents.
Every year, millions of tons food is wasted in NJ, producing million of tons of CO2. While composting has gained adoption in recent years, only a fraction of NJ composts their waste. To achieve true state level impact, composting need to be as cheapest as possible, in many cases, free.
TORUS, a non-profit organization, by seeking to break even instead of profit scales operations to rapidly advance the adoption of composting in NJ with the goal of being able to service the entire state for an accessible cost by 2030.
By composting a household can prevent the emission of +100 lbs of CO2(eq) yearly (equivalent to planting 2 mature trees).
By servicing all NJ residents, we could prevent the emission of millions of tons of co2 (equivalent to planting more than 100 million trees).
Your donations empower us to continue expanding, push for legislative change, and ultimately implement composting statewide. Together, we can create a greener New Jersey!
Does your company, organization, or foundation want to be part of the scale-up? Get in touch.
We are always looking for new bright people to join the mission. JOIN a group of high achieving students not just trying, but actively making a difference.
