We like to think ourselves as a source of information for sustainable development. We strongly believe information should be distributed and kept in motion.
We imagine a model and way of making things that takes into account people, the relationships amongst them, as well as the environment and the invisible relationships we have with it!

This Net connects and geolocalize people who are composting, quantifying the savings the community generates thanks to the adoption of this healthy practice.
In Buenos Aires, we bury more than 16.000 tons of materials each day. Half of that weight are organics. These 8.000 tons of nutrients can be recovered. Argentina is also facing massive erosion problems because of chemical fertilization of its soils. All of this damage the outer surface of the earth is receiving, is aggravating droughts and nutrients flushing towards the ocean. Walter Pengue from Sarmiento University says we have 30 years left.
We intend to raise people awareness about their eating habits. We are showing them the complete cycle that exists behind food. We are connecting the dots.
Food is produced, our body takes nutrients, and what´s left can the be used again to grow healthy products. Nature is perfect. Right now the cycle is broken, we are filling the gap.
Composting Net first goals are to:
1) Measure Savings for the Net members to be able to quantify and get real data about the project impact. "If it can be measured, it can be improved" Peter F Drucker.
2) Geo-Locate users on a map favoring interactions amongst them so as to build community.
3) Educate the community.
4) Develop composting systems suppliers.
5) Create an online agenda.
Till now we have reached a total of:
- 656.000 kilograms of waste recovered.
- 131.274 kilograms of soil produced.
- 317 cubic meters of space saved from land-fillin.
- 1.320 kilograms of CO2 that were not emitted.
Regarding future, we like to think big. We are going for all. Our goal is to reach the 8.000 tons a day that are being buried right now. We are getting requests from all over the country, and even from Uruguay, Chile and Peru. This project is designed for a high reach.

Our team is composed by three Industrial Engineers and a Business Manager. Some of us studied on public schools, others on private. The group is diverse, we feed from diversity. Ideas are diverse too. That´s key for what we are doing. We put into practice our words. We cook and care about ourselves, our relationships between each other, as well as with the environment.
We have a strong belief that value is easily achieved when cocreating and sharing through experiences. We invite everyone to sit at a table where there are no ranks, just a group of people with the will to generate value for the whole.
