When is the last time you have created a profit from waste?

Today I visited a Baltimore based organization call Bay Renewables and is amazed by the theory of their business. This company reuses cooking oils from restaurants to produce Biodiesel fuels, handmade vegan soaps, tiki torches, and glycerin. The idea of using the byproducts of an element to recreate energy and more commercial products is worth complementing. The ideology of the organization is to reduce waste and putting people back to work by creating small jobs like oil collectors, biodiesel producers, vegan soap producers, marketing staff, etc. Sometimes small companies like Bay Renewables make a bigger difference in the community in comparison to the larger firms.

So here is my question: When is the last time you have created a profit from waste?

Do you agree that waste has become one of the growing concerns of the world? Can we imagine the amount of waste we produce in a year, or a month, or even a day? Do we think businesses can be profitable if produced waste can be reused or resold? In a way you are extending the life cycle of the product? Yes I agree to the argument that we have reusable plastic and paper established. But does our ability stop at reusable products at that point?

Companies like Bay Renewables create product like vegan soap completely free of animal byproduct and fat. Soap companies with similar concepts like Bay Renewable are not only reducing waste, but in a way saving animals. Bay Renewables have brought the concept of going Green to a whole new level. Most of the world talks about growing green but how many of us are practicing the concept of going green. With growing prices in fuel, do you believe the biodiesel products can create a new revolution? What is the amount of support provided by government for organizations that focus on reducing waste?

"Enhancing the Going Green lifestyle and creating opportunity from a waste product is a masterpiece business proposition for the world."
