Our Vision
At Torus, we’re not driven by profit—we’re driven by purpose. As a 501(c)(3) organization, our mission is to make composting accessible, convenient, and free for every resident across New Jersey. By scaling our operations and expanding our reach, we aim to eliminate food waste at the household and community level. Our goal is to serve the entire State and Country with a sustainable, environmentally friendly solution that empowers individuals and families to reduce their carbon footprint and build a cleaner future—together.
OUR MISSION
Collect. Compost. Connect.
TORUS is dedicated to reducing food waste and promoting sustainability through accessible composting services. Founded in late 2023 by Lawrenceville students Zikang, Anthony, Matthew, and David, our organization aims to revolutionize waste management in New Jersey.
Our Journey So Far
Our Impact
Starting in Central New Jersey, Torus is working to expand statewide to make composting accessible and affordable for all. Since launching in late 2023, we’ve proudly served over 350 households and organizations—collecting and composting more than 90,000 pounds of food waste. Our efforts have already prevented the release of over 400,000 pounds of CO₂-equivalent emissions, helping to fight climate change one bucket at a time. As we grow, so does our impact—and our commitment to building a cleaner, more sustainable New Jersey.
