Sewage Sludge Industry Connections
Filtrexx uses sewage sludge to create what the company refers to as "locally made, annually renewable, biobased, recycled compost and other organic materials, contained by our USA manufactured mesh containment system to create patented products used around the world." The company specializes in using sewage sludge-derived products to prevent erosion.[2]
Filtrexx openly acknowledges "partnerships"--whether that indicates funding or research collaboration is unclear--with many well-known proponents of growing food in sewage sludge on it website, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Composting Council, BioCycle Magazine and the USDA.
