World's First Sustainable System Converts Pet Poop Into Useful Soil

SEATTLE, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- When former medical doctor turned-researcher, Lawrence Green, CEO of Bokashicycle www.bokashicycle.com began creating simple sustainable solutions to recycling organic matter, he discovered a new application -- pet poop. The BokashiPetCycle Fermenting System is the world's only fermenting system available to safely and rapidly convert pet waste into nutrients that can feed ornamental plants, stop ground water pollution and eliminate greenhouse gases. Dr. Green, the inventor, will introduce this revolutionary pet waste system at EPIC: Western Canada's largest sustainable consumer trade show and eco-market place, May 28-30, 2010, booth EM02, Vancouver Convention Center, Vancouver, BC.

The proprietary BokashiPetCycle system uses a process of pickling pet poop with microbes in a specialized container that excludes oxygen.  The process eliminates the risk of toxoplasmosis, E. coli, salmonella and other parasites from seeping into municipal water supplies. It also diverts pet waste from landfills where increased amounts end up in plastic bags resulting in increased methane gas.

"Putting pet waste into plastic bags is not good for the environment," Dr. Green explains. "The BokashiPetCycle fermenting process uses a natural organic accelerant, and when sealed for 7 days, eliminates toxic substances naturally."

The Bokashi culture mix is comprised of wheat bran, molasses and microorganisms that when added to pet poop causes the material to ferment into a product that can be used to restore soil nutrients.

The BokashiPetCycle, food waste systems and culture mix are available at retail stores including Vancouver Island's Dig This; Buckerfield stores; British Columbia's Arts Nursery; Bylands; Britefield; and Portland's Everybody's Garden Store, and online at www.bokashicycle.com .  The BokashiPetCycle retails for $130-$150.
