The Canadian Food
Inspection Agency has licenced a product made from sewage sludge at a plant at
St. Marys.
LysteGo
is produced at the Water Resource Recovery Facility in St. Marys using Lystek
technology.
The
company has six Canadian facilities and a seventh in the works in California.
Combined,
Lystek says those plants can convert more than 350,000 tonnes of biosolids and
other organics into biofertilizer products per year.
Company
President Rick Mosher says LysteGo biofertilizer has multiple uses in areas
such as agriculture, sod farming and horticulture.
The Waterloo
Region is expressing interest in turning its sewage sludge into commercial
fertiiizer.
