Our Vision:
The overall mission of the PetApples is: to alert, educate, research, develop, assist, and provide simple solutions to proper recycling of organic pet wastes; which is becoming a clear, and very costly growing
problem in our society today. Our focus is specifically on what is done with the waste once it has been picked up.
Dogs and cats give us unconditional love, no doubt about it. They also give us unconditional poop and fur which, contrary to most thinking are not waste items, being packed in plastic bags and thrown into
the landfills. Rather, they are assets which when properly processed can be an exceptional additive back to the soil for continuing the life cycles and sustaining, without polluting, our environment, earth and landfills.
The numbers are staggering:
Our project addresses
both of these problems:
We have overlooked for some time valuable resources which are daily being created and also deposited on our earth by “Man’s Best Friends”. What I am first talking about here is pet waste and secondly the fur of
the dogs which is being clipped each day and the value of both these items. Through organic and eco-friendly preparation these materials can be developed into a nutrient rich soil additive which can be introduced back into the earth. These inoculums can help
Mother Nature by returning the nutrients and micro-organisms to soils to help enhance the growing capabilities of soils more rapidly.
Our Background & Experience:
PetApples, is a business in its infancy which has many stakeholders/partners who understand the value of environmentally friendly pet waste and fur recycling, rather than packing it in plastic bags and just dumping
it in landfills.
For the last 24 months, we have been working with various partners to develop plans and test our procedures. Partners have included: Municipal groups, Humane Society, Kennels, Groomers, Veterinarians, Pet friendly
hotels/motels, pet stores, pet sitters, pet shelters, individuals, and many other businesses which would sponsor our efforts.
The Future We Are Creating:
Initially this project will inform and educate the population of the initial problems, offer ways to correct them, and then expand into much larger facets which eventually contribute, in very major ways, to the
environment and sustainability of our Earth.
We have an opportunity here to make lemonade out of lemons, to study, understand, and help our land in the United States or anywhere and reclaim their soils back to a productive sustainable state with reduced water
needs. Not to mention the tremendous reduction of plastic "vaults" being used to save the waste in the landfills as is now done today.
Our end products, after we process the wastes, will help forests and grasslands and parks quickly recover the soil fertility and again be able to support a healthy vegetative cover if the underlying soils can be
enhanced to supply the nutritional needs of the plants.
