What do you do with your Plant (tomato) waste?

[YEW]

Dear Intelectuals...

I have Hydropnic Tomato plants that produces an average of 5 cubic meter of pruned leaves and stems as waste. Every month or so I will be discarding 200 cubic meter of cocopeat (media used in the culture).
To date, I just dumped them in a remote slope. This I find as a total waste. Does anyone outthere knows of anyway to reprocess these waste whereby it can be reused for anything at all. Personally, I am an advocate of simple technology, nothing fancy please.

Thanking all of you in advance.

soil conditioner/mulch - like spent hops, spent mushroom compost
Compost - rotted green waste plus cocopeat waste
Worm farms - fresh green waste
Snail farms - fresh green waste
Biogas - ferment green waste to produce methane
Liquid fertilizer - steep green waste until you have a mineral and nutrient rich solution, and a fiber residue
Fuel blocks - compressed plant fiber.
