| Sumario: | The research presented in this chapter explores a variety of objectives: first, what are the dynamics and associated requirements for initiating a new start-up composting business that would embrace the principles of Circular Economy? Secondly, is there a market for compost both in an urban environment and for farmers regionally in a development world economy such as Guatemala?

And finally, what were the requirements involved in making compost in the challenging high altitude climatic conditions of Guatemala City? |
