Es3 has also assisted private companies with waste management planning; mainly concentrating on intensive agriculture setting up several private composting facilities across Australia as well as developing a farm based environmental management system for inclusion into APIQ for Australian Pork Limited.  Es3 has spent several years working with the waste management industry, researching and trailing in vessel composting systems and has just helped finalise the design on a mobile in vessel system design for use in intensive agriculture to aid in biosecurity.
