StormFisher quotable quotes:

“Competitive edge is integration of existing technologies with a focus on commercial contracts.”

“Our experience with producers of organic by-products is that disposal can be a significant cost centre, with tipping and transportation fees ranging in many cases above $100 per tonne.  Under agreements with us, companies can often reduce these costs as these by-products are beneficially used rather than dumped, and our plants are being built in or near major food processing clusters.”
