Mission Compost chose Earth Day to launch their expanded company after purchasing San Antonio-based, woman-owned Compost Queens.
Pilar Molak , and Emma Peacock are the co-founders of Mission Compost, which just acquired Compost Queens, another locally-grown compost service.Emma Peacock had just recently moved to San Antonio, her husband’s hometown, when she asked her friend Pilar Molak which composting service she used.— which take food waste, compost it and then distribute the compost back to customers and others — existed.and Pilar was the marketing director for Shetler Wade Jewelers.
When Compost Queens launched, the City of San Antonio had already started its green bin program, which included not just yard-based green waste but also food scraps and food-soiled paper. At that time, most of the tiny municipalities in and around San Antonio didn’t have a similar program. Peacock said it was clear that Jaceldo and Gruy sought a buyer with similar values. “Their number one priority was making sure their clients were taken care of,” she said. “They approached us and we had lots of conversation about it. Both of us got comfortable with the idea, and decided it was the right move.”
Selling to Mission Compost “felt really natural, rather than selling to some big waste management company that was just dabbling,”She said selling the idea of a compost service has gotten easier over the past several years, as more people and businesses understand the stakes.
