Dear A. H. Md. Maqsood Sinha and Iftekhar Enayetullah,
Let me congratulate you for such great idea. While reading your application you listed as one of your challenges the land’s scarcity for setting up composting plants inside the urban area. You said that usually this land is provided by the public sector and that might be the difficulty. What other sources for land have you considered or could you use? Would it be possible to establish partnership with individuals or private companies that own land where composing plants could work and in exchange pay them a fee or allow them to have a percentage of the income?
Also, what do you think the best strategies to commercialize the compost are? Why do you consider that the public sector should be the one in charge? Could not other agents intervene in this process? What about private companies interested in Social Corporate Responsibility projects?
Finally, one more challenge that I’d add is related to all health requirements and benefits that employees working in the composting plants must comply with and receive. Do you receive any special support from the health ministry of your country or the appropriate government authority for this matter? How do you ensure that employees work under healthy conditions while they’re at the plants?
Thanks and I hope you keep up the good work!
