Sustainable Organic Solutions's (SOS) mission, as a not-for-profit organization, is to provide, implement, and promote an educational based approach to develop a sustainable nationwide infrastructure enabling the long term diversion, recovery and recycling of large volumes of food residuals and other source separated organics (OSSO). In essence keeping these national resources out of landfills nationwide. Sustainable Organic Solutions is committed to changing current perceptions of about " wastes" and promoting the belief that source separated organics are" resources and should not be discarded as wastes"!

Our national landfills continue to be filled with wasted organic resources, the byproducts of which exacerbate the current environment crisis we find ourselves in and contributes to the loss of billions of dollars annually. The solution is to stop placing these organic resources into landfills and establish a nationwide recovery and recycling infrastructure that will utilize these national resources to their full potential. Our environment desperately needs these restorative recycled organic end-products to replenish our soils growing capability's by increasing water retention, available nutrients and plant uptake, and reducing erosion and the need for fertilizers, herbicides and other chemical supports.

SOS, through educational approaches will develop a nationwide organics recovery and recycling infrastructure enabling participants to greatly increase the volume of food residuals and (OSSO) being recovered/recycled from public/private sector entities. These recovered resources will be processed into environmentally restorative end-products, (composts), “organic matter” and will be utilized back into our environment. Through a comprehensive and systematic approach of identifying the most productive areas throughout the nation for infrastructure development including soliciting feedstock---identifying participants---procuring technical services and funding support---end-product development and enhancement---expansion of existing markets and development of new ones; SOS will accomplish the mission of greatly increasing the recovery and recycling of food residuals and OSSO nationwide, keeping them out of our landfills and preventing the environmental consequences.

SOS provides for community/public based economic development both on the front end of building the national infrastructure, (organics recovery and recycling) as well as on the back end, (marketing of products).  The anticipated change is, through dissemination of education/information, expansion of organics recycling and greatly increased community/public awareness on a national level, organic material generators (all of us) will realize the economic and environmental advantages and most important the environmental necessity of recycling organics instead of landfilling them, and/or placing them in waste water. Through SOS’s educational efforts and “on the ground”, working demonstrations of financially feasible and environmentally positive organics recovery and recycling systems, infrastructure participants will COME TO BELIEVE that organics are RESOURCES AND NOT WASTES and begin to mitigate the dire environmental effects of Global Warming.
