  • Publication number: 20230060109
    Abstract: Systems and methods for composting cannabis-related waste materials are provided. The method may include obtaining a plurality of cannabis-related waste materials, physically altering, e.g., pulverizing, the cannabis-related waste materials to form a feedstock suitable for composting, and transforming the feedstock into compost. For example, the feedstock may be composted via at least one of a windrow method, aerated static pile (ASP), in-vessel digestion, or vermicomposting. The obtained cannabis-waste materials may have a predetermined ratio of carbon to nitrogen, and the physically altered cannabis-related waste materials may be altered to smaller particle sizes suitable as a pre-compost. For example, the physically altered cannabis-related waste materials may be unrecognizable and unusable, in compliance with local and state regulations.

  • Patent number: 11484920
    Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering cannabis-related waste materials are provided. The method may include inserting a plurality of cannabis-related waste materials into, for example, a mobile rendering vehicle. The method may further include physically altering the cannabis-related waste materials such that the cannabis-related waste materials are unrecognizable and unusable. The insertion of the cannabis-related waste materials into the mobile rendering vehicle may be recorded and/or the physical alteration (e.g., pulverization) of the cannabis-related waste materials may be recorded via one or more cameras disposed on the mobile rendering vehicle to verify proper insertion and/or alteration of the cannabis-related waste materials.

  • Patent number: 10876061
    Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering cannabis-related waste materials are provided. The method includes obtaining a plurality of cannabis-related waste materials, preparing a blend comprising a predetermined amount of each of the plurality of cannabis-related waste materials, pulverizing the blend such that the blend is unrecognizable and unusable, heating the blend to at least 150 degrees Fahrenheit for an amount of time sufficient to sterilize and denature the blend, removing evaporated liquid from the heated blend, and cooling the heated blend to form a refuse-derived fuel material.
