Benefits of Composting with Ridan-Folo Composter Machines

Explore The Numerous Advantages of Composting

Composting is a simple yet powerful way to transform organic waste into nutrient-rich compost, and our Ridan composters make this process even easier and more efficient.

1. Environmental Sustainability

By diverting organic waste from landfills, you significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change. Turning waste into compost also conserves landfill space and minimizes the need for waste transportation.

2. Soil Enrichment

The compost produced by Ridan-FOLO machines is a valuable soil amendment. When added to gardens, farms, or landscaping projects, it enriches the soil with essential nutrients, enhances soil structure, and improves moisture retention. This, in turn, promotes healthier plant growth and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers.

3. Waste Reduction & Cost Saving

Composting with Ridan-FOLO machines reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, helping Malaysia tackle its waste management challenges. By composting on-site, households, businesses, and communities can save money on waste disposal fees and potentially generate cost savings in waste management.

4. Versatile and Easy-to-Use

Ridan-FOLO composters are designed to be user-friendly and suitable for various applications. Whether you are composting kitchen scraps, garden waste, or agricultural residues, our machines can handle a wide range of organic materials. They require minimal effort to operate, making composting accessible to all, from individual households to large-scale facilities.

5. Low-Energy and Efficient

Our Ridan-FOLO composters employ an aerobic composting process that uses natural microorganisms to decompose organic waste. The continuous rotation of the composting drum ensures efficient mixing and aeration, speeding up the decomposition process without requiring significant energy consumption.

6. Reduction of Foul Odors and Pests

Composting with Ridan-FOLO machines helps contain and control odors associated with decomposing organic waste. Properly managed composting also minimizes the attraction of pests, creating a cleaner and more pleasant composting experience.

7. Community and Educational Benefits

Using Ridan-FOLO composters can foster a sense of community engagement and environmental responsibility. In schools, businesses, and community centers, composting initiatives can be educational opportunities to raise awareness about waste reduction and environmental sustainability.

8. Customizable Solutions

Ridan-FOLO offers a range of composters in different sizes to cater to various needs and waste volumes. Whether you're composting on a small scale or looking for a commercial composting solution, we have a machine that fits your requirements.

9. Positive Impact on Biodiversity

Composting with Ridan-FOLO machines contributes to the conservation of biodiversity. By reducing waste and preventing the release of methane from landfills, you indirectly help protect natural habitats and wildlife in Malaysia

10. Support for Circular Economy

Composting is a fundamental aspect of the circular economy, where waste is considered a resource. By composting organic materials and using the resulting compost to enrich soil, you actively participate in the circular economy and support a regenerative approach to waste management.

Testimonials

“The Ridan is the most compact thermophilic aerobic composter that mimics how we compost food waste at FOLO Farm. Its clever and efficient design takes in all kinds of food waste and produces good quality compost without any electricity, inoculants etc. No smell, no flies. We have tried using the output after 2 weeks directly as mulch for fruit trees with good results. Once fully mature at around 2-months, it produces a very high quality pasty compost that is amazing for regenerating the soil to grow anything. We hope that every school, small business, kampung will have this so we can transform food waste at source into healthy food for all.”

Being on a small off grid island, dealing with food waste is a problem. We tried various composting options over the years which were messy, smelly and our team dreaded.

The RIDAN has been an excellent solution for us as it does not smell, is contained, easy to use and doesn’t “break down”.

We put mixed food waste into the RIDAN with sawdust (which we get free from a mainland carpentry operation) and turn the handle a few times a day. We use the compost that comes out in our permaculture garden and for landscaping (great for our sandy soils).

The RIDAN works for us practically and fits with our ethos of adopting circular systems where we can. Food waste to soil to food.
