Milinator Technologies Inc. offers a unique solution for manure management as it is the only development that can recycle waste without generating any pollution (EcoSpace Engineering, 2013). In fact, manufacturing a single kilogram of Cyclorganic fertilizer is understood to eliminate pollution equal to 60 litres of carbon dioxide and 12 litres of ammonia (EcoSpace Engineering, 2013). Developing a market for Cyclorganic fertilizer in Nepal could benefit the Canadian economy and environment in many ways. A number of Canadian companies have been involved in the growth of Milinator Technologies Inc (EcoSpace Engineering, 2013). EcoSpace Engineering Inc., in Toronto, Ontario, in collaboration with Milinator Technologies Inc., owns the rights to the technology. The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture has funded the development of Milin’s recycling system. Walinga Inc. is an engineering firm in Guelph, ON that has built the prototype Milinator unit from Milin’s design, illustrated below in Figure 2.

Since 2010, The University of Guelph, also in Ontario, has been operating a 200 kg prototype unit at a research station through the university. The Arkell Research Station and the Animal Biosciences department at the University of Guelph have contributed to the research of the technology and the effects of applying Cyclorganic in crop fields (EcoSpace Engineering, 2013). The Milinator technology is still being studied and refined, however, creating an additional market overseas would contribute to the growth of the technology through further research in a new environment. The labor force required for the manufacturing of Cyclorganic would create additional jobs in primary agriculture in rural parts of Canada (Milin, Space Travel). For example, Milin plans to incorporate Milinator processing plants beside poultry operations throughout Canada to create the option of on-site processing facilities that would allow raw manure to be recycled instantly into a safe product. Growth of Milinator Technologies Inc. would benefit Canada’s environment by removing a significant source of pollution and creating a fertilizer with minimal ecological impact. Immediate processing of animal waste using the Milinator technique could eliminate all sources of pollution associated with the storage and application of manure (Milin, Space Travel). If the Milinator technology could be implemented as a common management practice, Canadian farmers would have access to a beneficial organic fertilizer for domestic use. Beyond the cost of the equipment and labor required for manufacturing the cost to produce Cyclorganic is minimal (Milin, Space Travel). The larvae that result from the Milinator process could be used as a protein supplement for poultry feed (Milin, Space Travel). Excess Cyclorganic produced from Canadian poultry farms could be sold for commercial or household use.
