HIGH
POINT, N.C., May 14, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, Poulterra launches its
Manure-as-a-Service ("MaaS") platform, an entirely new approach to
reducing emissions across the poultry supply chain, while
simultaneously lowering costs, improving operating performance and
setting new benchmarks for sustainable poultry production.
Phillip
Plylar, the CEO of Mountaire Farms, says, "We are excited to
work with Poulterra and their circular, nature-based platform.
Their solution will help us lower the cost to produce chicken,
lower emissions and make poultry more sustainable for our
customers."
The MaaS platform is a nature-based, supply chain solution that
sits on top of the existing poultry supply chain to deliver
significant economic and environmental benefits to the key
stakeholders in poultry production, namely poultry growers, poultry
integrators and the communities that poultry operates in.
Poulterra's MaaS platform begins with miscanthus, a perennial
grass bedding product that is grown locally for poultry growers.
Miscanthus grass is a highly efficient, carbon negative perennial
grass that can be grown on marginal soils. Poulterra plants
miscanthus on or near the poultry farm, and when possible, along
watersheds, where it serves as a high performing buffer strip to
reduce nutrient run off. Poulterra supplies poultry growers,
through a long-term contract, with miscanthus bedding at no cost
and in exchange, receives the previous year's litter.
Poulterra uses this annual, ratable supply of miscanthus-based
litter to produce renewable natural gas, liquid CO2 and high
quality, low carbon fertilizers using a proven, anaerobic digestion
technology. Today, most poultry litter is broad cast spread on land
as a fertilizer, where the nitrogen is subject to volatilization
losses and runoff into watersheds. By transforming litter into
nutrient dense, precision application ready commercial fertilizers,
Poulterra can help reduce the use of synthetic nitrogen
fertilizers, increase carbon in soils and lower Scope 3 emissions
in animal feed and food.
Phillip Plylar, the CEO of
Mountaire Farms, the nation's fourth largest poultry integrator,
says, "We are excited to work with Poulterra and their circular,
nature-based platform to increase sustainability across our supply
chain. Their solution will help us lower the cost to produce
chicken, lower emissions and make poultry more sustainable for our
customers."
"Mountaire has been a great partner to work with.", says
Rob Tripp, CEO of Poulterra. "They
have been progressive in their approach on sustainability and
focused to ensure value is create for all the stakeholders in their
value chain, namely the poultry growers and the communities they
operate in. We are truly developing a sustainable, circular economy
model for producing poultry and at scale that has never been done
before."
About Us: Poulterra is a sustainable agriculture platform that
leverages nature-based solutions to significantly improve the
poultry supply chain at scale. Poulterra partners with poultry
growers, integrators and communities to transform waste into
scalable, low carbon products that significantly reduce emissions,
reduce environmental risks and lower costs.
