COMPOST HELLAS O.E  is on Kefalonia. The company has  been composting organic wastes since 1999, when initiated a demonstration project with the support of Mr. Tom Young manager of Ecological Sciences Limited (Exeter, U.K) and the environmental non-profit organization "Katelios Group Research/Protection of the Marine and Terrestrial Life"( Kefalonia, Greece). It has since demonstrated the viability of composting local waste streams using "low cost" methods and  has undertaken crucial preliminary research into production of compost from phanerogam sea grass (Posidonia oceanica), agricultural and novel waste streams as olive oil and cheese production waste.

COMPOST HELLAS O.E current business utilizes an aerobic waste management methodology, based on the formation of windrows with the base medium of the compost being sea grass (Posidonia oceanica), cleaned from Katelios Village tourist beach, with other wastes coming from agricultural sources.

The final stable product,  organic compost ,is used:

As a natural fertilizer and amendment  for agriculture,

• Releases nutrients, which benefit plant growth, producing tastier crops and healthier plants

• Improves soil structure and quality by opening up heavy soils making them easier to work and improving lights soils by increasing moisture content

• Increases aeration in soils

• Improves plant performance through vigorous root growth

• As a product of regeneration,

• As a product against soil erosion and exhaustion,

• Suitable for reforestation.

The idea to produce natural fertilizers using sea grass (Posidonia oceanica), using composting methods is a unique innovation  in Greece and the owner of the company has received the related Greek patent no. 1003611 (OBI).

COMPOST HELLAS O.E is the only business in Kefalonia (and one of very few in Greece) that is successfully producing a new industrial and ecological product known as compost.
