Thanks to our friends at the Mid-Atlantic Biosolids Association for their joyous feature on Bloom last month! As Bill Toffey, former MABA Executive Director and principal of Effluential Synergies LLC, writes “Bloom, with its tagline ‘Good Soil, Better Earth,’ exemplifies innovation in sustainable biosolids, transforming urban and agricultural landscapes alike.” Launched after years of development at the Blue Plains, Bloom has grown to become a market leader in biosolids products committed to environmental stewardship and exceptional quality.
As Bill writes, “DC Water and Blue Drop together are the global leaders in the production, distribution and sales of exceptional quality biosolids for use in urban and nearby agricultural landscapes. The progress across the 15 years from concept to full implementation has been a steady perseverance and commitment to principles of sustainability, circular economy and resource use efficiency. This endeavor is a shining example for all of us in the biosolids profession, an example that can spark joy.”
All of this work is driven forward by a diverse, passionate and hard-working team, led by Chris Peot, DC Water’s Director of Resource Recovery, pictured here. Read the full article to learn more about how Bloom drives DC toward a sustainable future, and the incredible team leading this work.
