Thanks for another great vid. I'm making compost on a much smaller scale. I keep 11-12 yards in process.. I'm very selective about my inputs and still have to spend a lot of time removing plastic. It's easy to pick out red and blue pieces, but small black pieces are very hard to identify. I've done a little experimenting and found it takes five screenings to remove most of it. I understand that's not practical to do on a larges scale. Hopefully better and more affordable commercial removal systems will be available in the near future.
Thank you very much for the video. I plan to build a compost sifter based on similar idea (rotary drum). Do you have any expirience with composting PLA? Is this possible in such kind of facility like yours?
This is a great video intro but I wish there was more information shared. Some questions: What is the "cleanliness" of the final output (eg: 99% plastics free, or completely clean) of the Compost Liberator? What is the process used to seperate plastics (especially micro-plastics) from food waste? Where can we follow-up to learn more?
It all sounds good ! But check out the revelations in Australia with the dispersal of ASBESTOS in composted products ! Impossible to remove all plastics and these products should not be allowed to find there way back into the human food chain .
Just a mini wind sifter?
Yes, there are a number of options available already. Its great to see that there are more solutions being offered.

Indeed, thanks for sharing!
This unit looks great. I have a small scale compost facility in MA, is there any way I could get more information on the mini compost liberator?
A friend in the Yukon was working on this - Boreal Compost Enterprises.

Thank you Sobie, I do not have specific experience with composting PLA. It would be difficult for me to comment, sorry!

Thanks for sharing. Indeed a challenge and concern when including construction and demolition waste in the compost process.
