“Waste is a resource in the wrong place.” – Mahatma Gandhi

In Portugal, about 70,4% of usable agricultural area has low organic matter content while about 71% of the country has moderate or high susceptibility to desertification.

Futuramb has been positioning itself as the only company on the market that focuses on vermicomposting and is able to understand and investigate this process in terms of science and engineering in a multifunctional way. Truly being a company (the only company) specialized in this field, developing the following activities:

• Organic waste treatment;
• Consulting;
• Training Workhops;
• Research;
• Creating Awareness;
• Publications and scientific papers;
• Vermicomposting products sales: vermicompost, vermicompost tea and earthworms;
• Technologies, systems and processes development for vermitechnology: vermicomposting, vermiculture, vermiremediation and vermiculture.

It is possible to significantly reduce the amount of organic waste (food scraps, green waste, human sludge, forestry biomass, etc.) directly on the source in a global and sustainable way, monitoring and implementing actions and strategies to reduce waste in a more and efficient way.

It is also important that governments be aware of the role that vermicomposting can have when it comes to managing the organic part of waste. Not only in environmental terms but also in terms of social-economics and agriculture, despite the fact that vermicomposting has being neglected in national plans and regulations as opposed to other mechanical and biological treatment technologies.

So, It is yet Futuramb’s goal to defend a selective collection of the organic part of waste when it comes down to vermicomposting, rather than achieving multimaterial recovery.
