“Manure is a problem, but it also offers opportunities”

“Manure is a problem, but it also offers opportunities. That is my motivation. Nowadays I help find new destinations for mushroom manure. Champost is too wet and too salty for many purposes. But it is available in large quantities all year round. Then I want to know: what value is there in it? For example, by having it composted we can produce heat for nurseries. And you can make an oil from the lignin in champost that the chemical sector uses as a raw material. This is how I try to contribute to solutions. It makes me proud when I have really helped people and companies.”
