COMPANY PROFILE
Started as a home-based composting activity processing garbage from a next-door catering and restaurant commissary in a 500 sq. m. vacant lot in Lahug applying the aerobic method of composting.
Moved to a facility adjacent to the landfill in Inayawan and started processing biodegradable wastes collected by a private firm.
In the process of registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission and securing business permits and licenses.
Increased the volume of its seed compost to about 250 cubic meters in a span of 14 months with a capacity to process about 100-150 cubic meters of biodegradable wastes daily.

History
It all started with the desire to lessen the stench of uncollected wastes from a commissary of a catering
service and a chain of restaurants.
![Page 4: Bio-Nutrient Waste Management,Inc. - KitaQ Compost · Bio-Nutrient Waste Management, Inc. ... Fermented liquid loaded with micro organisms was added into the mixture of rice bran](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040406/5e9e6ff4484f342d64359af2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
On September 23, 2011, the seed compost was mixed using rice hull and rice bran.
Rice Hull and Rice Bran Mixture
![Page 5: Bio-Nutrient Waste Management,Inc. - KitaQ Compost · Bio-Nutrient Waste Management, Inc. ... Fermented liquid loaded with micro organisms was added into the mixture of rice bran](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040406/5e9e6ff4484f342d64359af2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Fermented liquid loaded with micro organisms was added into the mixture of rice bran and rice hull. This was done at
the vacant lot in Lahug, adjacent to the commissary.

Seed Compost
On October 1, 2011, the seed compost located at the vacant lot started to accept biodegradable wastes
![Page 7: Bio-Nutrient Waste Management,Inc. - KitaQ Compost · Bio-Nutrient Waste Management, Inc. ... Fermented liquid loaded with micro organisms was added into the mixture of rice bran](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040406/5e9e6ff4484f342d64359af2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The size of the compost grew after a few months of feeding with biodegradable wastes from the next door
commissary and from a corn chip factory
The Piles Increased to 10 Cubic Meters
![Page 8: Bio-Nutrient Waste Management,Inc. - KitaQ Compost · Bio-Nutrient Waste Management, Inc. ... Fermented liquid loaded with micro organisms was added into the mixture of rice bran](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040406/5e9e6ff4484f342d64359af2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
At the Vacant Lot
The piles were split into two after a few months of feeding

Another Pile Was Added
The piles grew in volume and were split into three piles
![Page 10: Bio-Nutrient Waste Management,Inc. - KitaQ Compost · Bio-Nutrient Waste Management, Inc. ... Fermented liquid loaded with micro organisms was added into the mixture of rice bran](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040406/5e9e6ff4484f342d64359af2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Steaming Hot Piles
The piles are fed, turned/aerated and watered everyday.

The Volume Increased to 50 Cubic Meters
4 huge piles filled the paved area of the vacant lot in Lahug
![Page 12: Bio-Nutrient Waste Management,Inc. - KitaQ Compost · Bio-Nutrient Waste Management, Inc. ... Fermented liquid loaded with micro organisms was added into the mixture of rice bran](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040406/5e9e6ff4484f342d64359af2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Move to Inayawan Site
The volume of our compost grew and a bigger space was needed. So, in July 2012, we took the opportunity to move the seed compost from the vacant lot in Lahug to the Inayawan site, where it is now. We started processing biodegradable wastes collected by a private contractor.

The Piles at Inayawan
![Page 14: Bio-Nutrient Waste Management,Inc. - KitaQ Compost · Bio-Nutrient Waste Management, Inc. ... Fermented liquid loaded with micro organisms was added into the mixture of rice bran](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040406/5e9e6ff4484f342d64359af2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The Piles Growing in Volume Everyday

Today in the Inayawan Composting Site
7 huge piles of 18 meters long, 2 meters wide and 1 meter high totaling to about 250 cubic meters
![Page 16: Bio-Nutrient Waste Management,Inc. - KitaQ Compost · Bio-Nutrient Waste Management, Inc. ... Fermented liquid loaded with micro organisms was added into the mixture of rice bran](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040406/5e9e6ff4484f342d64359af2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SEGREGATION Our crew manually segregates the wastes, biodegradable wastes (malata) from non-biodegradable wastes (dili-malata).

CHIPPING and SHREDDING
After segregation, the biodegradable wastes are chipped and shredded.

FEEDING / LOADING INTO THE SEED COMPOST
The piles are opened in the middle to prepare for feeding.

Municipal Biodegradable Wastes
Vegetable scraps and egg shells from business establishments are fed to the pile.

TURNING / AERATION
The compost piles are manually turned and aerated daily with the use of shovels and pitching forks.
![Page 26: Bio-Nutrient Waste Management,Inc. - KitaQ Compost · Bio-Nutrient Waste Management, Inc. ... Fermented liquid loaded with micro organisms was added into the mixture of rice bran](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040406/5e9e6ff4484f342d64359af2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

The microbial activity in the pile causes the temperature to rise to about 70 degrees centigrade at the core killing most pathogens - making the compost hygienic and safe.

MOISTURE CONTROL
The moisture of the piles is maintained so when the piles are too dry they are watered and if too wet, rice
hull or dried leaves and grasses are added.
![Page 29: Bio-Nutrient Waste Management,Inc. - KitaQ Compost · Bio-Nutrient Waste Management, Inc. ... Fermented liquid loaded with micro organisms was added into the mixture of rice bran](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040406/5e9e6ff4484f342d64359af2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Watering

As the process continues, there appear molds and fungi on the piles. They are responsible for breaking down the wastes into compost.
Molds and Fungi on the Pile

MATURING
The process takes 30 days. The piles are set aside for 30 days to mature. It reduces to 25% from its original volume. To maintain the micro organisms alive, the piles are aerated and watered daily.

BLENDING
The matured compost is blended with micro nutrients coming from other waste materials to come up with a rich
soil conditioner.

Challenges Municipal wastes are not segregated. It takes time to
segregate a truckload of unsegregated wastes. There are no machines available to efficiently classify
wastes into biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes. We still have to rely on the human eye for classification.
The output which is the soil conditioner is not yet generally accepted by small farmers and big farm owners. Chemical inputs are still preferred because of its quick fix result in the production. Notwithstanding the fact, that in the long-term the soil is depleted of all life and an increasing quantity of chemicals is required for the same production.
It is not easy to work with unsegregated wastes. They are dirty, smelly and sometimes hazardous to health.
