Ecologico-Logic Inc, created a machine, 'The Muncher' which can turn compost in less than one hour, compared to the traditional 45 days. It took the firm’s research team 10 years to develop a such machine which could break down waste using microorganisms. It does not produce any harmful byproducts. It reduces the actual volume of solid waste by 75% to 80%. The product is designed to handle 50 tons of waste per day and costs about $20 in energy (it runs on electricity) per ton of waste,
