Ridan are a small, innovative, eco company producing Ridan™ Composting products in North Devon.
Recycling food waste produced by schools and colleges with a Ridan composter is not just an environmentally practical solution to an ongoing problem, it is also a fantastic way to educate pupils about composting, engaging them in recycling and the Eco life-cycle, providing them with hands-on experience of renewable and sustainable living.
All green waste and food waste can be recycled using a Ridan food waste composting machine – fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, fish and dairy products, cooked or raw. As long as your school has some gardens or grounds, you can recycle all of your food waste on site, as soon as it has been discarded.
As the compost ‘cooks’ it generates it’s own heat which releases steam, much to the amusement of children and some adults too!
The final product is a healthy, nutrient rich compost which can be fed back into your plant pots, borders and gardens or used for community projects.
Composting for schools is educational, practical, fun and cost effective.
Teach them about the Eco Life-cycle and sustainable living by converting green waste and food waste into nutrient rich compost that will help to feed the soil to promote the growth of new life.
All raw and cooked food waste produced by your school or college can be effectively composted using the Ridan food waste composting system, including fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, fish and dairy products. As long as your school has some gardens or grounds, you can recycle all of your food waste onsite, as soon as it has been discarded.
Composting is a natural process, but the conditions have to be just right for the process to take place. The Ridan Composting system ensures the conditions are just right. During this natural process, energy is released which heats the mixture and creates steam, much to the amusement of children and some adults too!
The final product is a healthy, nutrient rich compost which can be fed back into your plant pots, borders and gardens or used for community projects.
‘I am amazed at how well the Ridan works, how easy it is to use and how quickly it composts, as a result we now only have one bin collected every week instead of two and we have plenty of rich compost for the garden.’ – Wayne Hack, Stowford Primary School, Ivybridge, Devon
‘Thanks for the delivery of the Ridan composter, today. I am extremely excited to introduce this marvelous machine to St Leonard's Primary School. I have used them in two previous schools and they have worked wonders. The children loved being part of the whole process and felt proud when organic gold was being produced and put back into the growth cycle. Long live the Ridan!’ – Gary Nixon, teacher, St Leonard's CofE Primary School, Devon
