Things You Didn't Know You Could Compost

More than a third of household waste consists of food. When this goes to landfill and begins to decompose, it produces methane, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. 

Things You Didn't Know You Could Compost

Reducing the amount of food we waste is a big undertaking, but one simple way to reduce your environmental impact is to remove food waste from the landfill through composting. Composting breaks down food so it doesn't produce methane and lets you take advantage of nice, rich compost that you can use in your garden - it's a win-win situation.

You may even find that installing a composting system opens your eyes to the amount of food wasted and makes you rethink your next shopping list and the way you cook.

Composting is a great way to dispose of food waste, but if you throw a lot of leftovers in a trash can, you end up with a stinky, sticky mess (and possibly cockroach and mouse infestations). 

It is important to note that the home compost system is quite different from the industrial compost system. An industrial system can handle all sorts of things you wouldn't typically put in a home compost system, like meat, bones, and dairy.

Hair, beer, wine, cat litter, coffee grounds, coffee filters, tea bags, vacuum cleaner dust, paper towels, ash, egg shells, egg cartons, natural fabrics, dry pasta, etc. Most of the things that can be used in everyone's daily use can be composted under the right conditions.

Our organization also provides compost certification and C-Label (Compost Labeling) compost labeling services to demanding businesses.
