Testimonials
"I have always worked with the SRC and I am always satisfied with the services received. Their Biodigester Septic Tank is the system of choice as it requires little maintenance and produces methane and water for irrigation which are very beneficial by-products"

"We approached the SRC out of the need to develop a system that would effectively treat sewage generated by our housing complex. The SRC was recommended to us because of their expertise and knowledge in the field. SRC designed and developed a biodigestor septic tank, vegetative bed and chlorination chamber that have been in operation for six years. So far, we have no challenges and are pleased with their function. We are also pleased with the support received from the SRC in the monitoring of our systems. We definitely would recommend the SRC to others with similar interests"

"In 2020, I contacted the SRC for assistance in developing my product. They were able to take my recipe/my idea and to formulate a product that is now in supermarkets. Before the SRC, quantities that I usually produce was between 36-50 juices per month, but with the SRC’s facility I am now producing 200-300 juices every three weeks. I would recommend SRC’s services to any Jamaican out there with an idea and want to develop their formulation. SRC will guide you in getting your product to the place that you wish to reach"

"When we first approached the SRC, we were a bit clueless about what it would take get our products developed. Fortunately, the SRC was able to take us through the entire process step by step, hand-holding us and responding to our queries/concerns. SRC, to whom we were referred by many, took quite a bit of hassle off our hands. We strongly recommend anyone with even just an idea to contact the SRC and they will help you figure out the next steps. It was a wonderful experience for us"

"Very good overall service. I am very satisfied. There is very good communication between the SRC and its clients"
