JP started off with a pick-up truck and an idea, and is now in the business of turning reclaimed organic wastes into a line of soil amendments, including potting soil, <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/2012\/01\/used-shipping-container-factory\/\">biochar<\/a>, and compost tea.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t the least bit surprised to learn that JP and Waste Farmers had been featured by <a href=\"http:\/\/i4ccampaign.com\/\">The [i4c] Campaign<\/a> (a young organization itself) as an &#8220;impact company&#8221;: one that contribute to the creation of better cities.
