KEESEVILLE — Compost for Good recently opened the doors to its Human Urine Research and Demonstration facility in the town of Jay and invites scientists, educators, policy makers, engineers, architects and entrepreneurs from around the world to explore cutting-edge methods for transforming human urine into nutrient-rich compost.
John Culpepper and Katie Culpepper, two of the co-founders of Compost for Good, constructed the HURD facility and have been working to develop and refine its innovative composting processes for several years.
The facility recently received official registration from the state Department of Environmental Conservation and employs a unique composting process that uses diverted urine as a nitrogen source in a high-temperature composting regimen. Compost for Good is a project supported by AdkAction, based in Keeseville, and the Adirondack North Country Association, based in Saranac Lake, and the research conducted at the HURD facility has been generously funded by the Cloudsplitter Foundation.
