Implementation of Our Highest-Capacity On-Site Composter

Every breakthrough starts small. In this case, it began with a simple idea, and a series of smaller machines that consistently outperformed expectations. Those early successes raised an important question. Why not go bigger, bolder, and better?

That question led to the next evolution of on-site composting technology.

On-site composters have already proven their value by efficiently processing organic waste streams, compostable materials, and biodegradable packaging, while reducing waste volume by up to 80 percent in less than 24 hours. Until recently, the largest systems commissioned were capable of processing up to 500 tonnes annually. That milestone has now been surpassed, opening the door to a new scale of organics management.

Introducing the T1000 On-Site Composter

The newly commissioned T-REX T1000 on-site composter represents a significant step forward in scale and performance. Designed to process up to 1,000 tonnes of organic waste annually, the T1000 doubles the capacity of previous installations and establishes a new benchmark for high-volume organics processing.

In addition to increased capacity, the system incorporates a newly designed technology variation that significantly expands processing potential and enables the system to handle up to 2,500 tonnes annually. This represents a 500% increase over the original maximum processing capability of earlier T-REX machines.

This advancement demonstrates how continued innovation and engineering refinement can unlock substantial performance gains while maintaining reliability, efficiency, and environmental integrity.

Engineering for Performance and Reliability

High-capacity composting requires more than scale alone. Systems must be engineered to manage moisture, oxygen levels, temperature, and material consistency across diverse organic waste streams. The T1000 has been designed with these operational realities in mind, ensuring stable performance even as throughput increases.

Improved technology allows for more consistent biological activity, faster processing times, and reduced risk of anaerobic conditions. This results in better material breakdown, improved odor control, and a more predictable end product.

By integrating these engineering improvements, the T1000 supports both operational efficiency and long-term system durability.

A Fully Integrated Sustainability Hub

The T-REX T1000 has been implemented at Recycling Alternative’s greenHUB, where it operates alongside a wide range of material recovery and recycling technologies. The greenHUB includes optical sorting systems for plastic waste, balers for plastics, packaging, and paper, a Styrofoam densifier, a paper shredder, and additional processing equipment.

This integrated approach allows multiple waste streams to be managed within a single facility. Organic waste can be processed alongside recyclable materials, creating efficiencies in logistics, labor, and infrastructure while maximizing diversion from landfill.

Centralized processing also allows for better data tracking and reporting, which is increasingly important for organizations measuring waste diversion, carbon reduction, and ESG performance.

From Waste Reduction to Resource Creation

Beyond reducing waste volume, the T1000 enables Recycling Alternative to convert organic material into a valuable soil amendment. This material supports soil health, water retention, and nutrient cycling, turning what was once considered waste into a useful resource.

The potential to offer this soil amendment back to clients creates additional value within the waste management process. Clients benefit not only from reduced disposal volumes, but also from tangible sustainability outcomes that can be reintegrated into landscaping, restoration, or agricultural applications.

This closed-loop approach strengthens the environmental impact of composting while reinforcing the economic and operational benefits.

Expanding Access to Advanced Composting Solutions

While on-site composting remains the ideal solution for many large generators of organic waste, not every organization has the space, volume, or capital required to install its own system. High-capacity facilities like the greenHUB help bridge this gap by extending the benefits of advanced composting technology to a wider range of users.

By leveraging large-scale processing capabilities, smaller food producers, commercial kitchens, and mixed-use properties can participate in effective organic waste diversion without needing to operate their own equipment. This model supports broader adoption of composting practices while maintaining high processing standards.

Improving Operational Conditions and Odor Management

Effective organic waste management delivers benefits beyond sustainability metrics. Organic material can begin producing unpleasant odors within a short period of time, which can negatively impact hygiene, staff working conditions, and customer experience.

By reducing storage time and processing organic waste efficiently, facilities can significantly improve cleanliness and odor control at the source. This leads to safer, more pleasant environments and supports better relationships with surrounding communities.

Supporting ESG Goals and Regulatory Readiness

As regulations around organic waste diversion continue to evolve, organizations are under increasing pressure to demonstrate responsible waste management practices. High-capacity on-site composting systems help future-proof operations by supporting compliance with landfill diversion mandates and sustainability reporting requirements.

The ability to track processed volumes, diversion rates, and end-product outcomes provides valuable data for ESG reporting. This transparency helps organizations communicate progress to stakeholders while aligning operations with long-term environmental goals.

A New Era for Commercial and Residential Composting

The commissioning of the T-REX T1000 marks an important milestone for Recycling Alternative and the broader composting sector. Increased capacity, advanced technology, and integration within a comprehensive recycling ecosystem enable faster progress toward scalable and effective organic waste management.

This development signals a shift toward smarter, higher-capacity composting solutions that support environmental responsibility, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability across commercial and residential sectors.
