Your Waste Can Do More.
What you call a waste stream, we call a renewable resource. WINR Centers transform organic byproducts into natural fertilizer, reducing your disposal costs, strengthening your sustainability story, and putting nutrients back where they belong.
Let’s Talk About Your Waste Stream →Or call: (712) 647-2810Organic Waste Is a Growing Problem and a Missed Opportunity
Food processors generate organic byproducts by the semi load: potato peels, grain hulls, processing residues. Every one of those materials contains nutrients that were harvested from the soil to grow food. Right now, most of it goes to landfills, generating methane, costing you money, and breaking the nutrient cycle permanently.
A waste stream is just a nutrient out of place. We put it back where it belongs.
Waste Into Nutrient Recovery
WINR Centers take your organic waste, including food manufacturing byproducts, manure, and post-consumer organics, and transform it into high-quality natural fertilizer. Your waste becomes a farmer’s best input. The nutrient cycle completes.
WINR stands for Waste Into Nutrient Recovery. Not new technology, just Mother Nature’s design, applied at industrial scale.
Four Wins. Zero Losers.
If everybody wins in the transaction, it’s impossible to fail. That’s the principle WINR is built on.
You Win
Sustainable disposal at competitive cost. A partner who handles logistics and actually does something good with your waste. Your sustainability story gets real.
Farmers Win
Farmers want natural fertility. They just can't get it at scale. WINR creates a local, stable-priced nutrient source that feeds the whole soil, not just N-P-K. Not vitamins from a pharmacy, but a complete meal from the grocery store.
Communities Win
Local jobs. Local dollars. 95% of every dollar spent on our products stays in-state, compared to 85% going overseas with imported fertilizer.
The Environment Wins
Nutrients recovered instead of landfilled. Reduced methane. Healthier soil that retains water, sequesters carbon, and grows more nutritious food.
“If everybody wins in this transaction, it's impossible to fail. I don't have to take from somebody and give to somebody else. Every single person wins.”

From Your Waste Stream to Fertile Soil
We Assess Your Waste Stream
We evaluate what you're generating: volume, composition, frequency, current disposal costs. No two waste streams are identical. We design around yours.
Pickup & Transport
We handle logistics. Our team picks up your organic waste on a schedule that fits your operation and transports it to the nearest WINR Center.
Controlled Composting (ASP)
Materials are processed using Aerated Static Pile technology, with controlled oxygen, temperature, and moisture that produces consistent, high-quality compost faster and with lower emissions than traditional methods.
Recipe-Based Product Creation
We don't just compost. We engineer. Using our Ag Simplified platform, we track every ingredient and create blends with specific nutrient profiles. Sulfur, calcium, phosphates, potassium, C:N ratios, all dialed in.
Delivered to Farmers, Applied to Fields
Finished products go to farmers across our network, applied where nutrients are needed most. The cycle completes. Your waste built someone’s soil.
20 Years of Building Toward This Moment
Two facilities in Western Iowa. Land purchased for a third. The model is built to replicate nationally through partnerships.
Who We’re Looking For
Food Processors & Manufacturers
You generate organic byproducts at scale. You want a sustainable, cost-effective disposal partner who does something valuable with your waste, and can document it for your reporting.
Feedlot & Livestock Operators
You have manure to manage and compliance to meet. We handle logistics, application, and environmental compliance, and potentially turn your liability into a revenue stream.
Future WINR Center Partners
You see this model working in your state. You want to own a business that creates wins for your community. We're looking for partners who share the vision, and we'll coach you through it.
Why the Economics Work
of every dollar a farmer spends on imported fertilizer goes overseas. It doesn’t stay in your state, your county, or your community.

“When I was a kid, my grandma told me: a weed is just a plant out of place. I've thought about that ever since. A waste stream is just a nutrient out of place. Mother Nature made all of it. We just need to put it back where it belongs.”
