Composting practices that minimize anaerobic (oxygen-independent) conditions and maximize aerobic (oxygen-dependent) conditions are the most effective method in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

In the presence of oxygen and water, microbes such as bacteria and fungi use carbon for energy and decompose organic waste.

Composting is an aerobic process that reduces or prevents the release of methane during organic matter breakdown. Methane is 26 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide and is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. Decomposition of organic material by microbes in an oxygen-free environment releases methane into the atmosphere. Anaerobic fermentation is common in landfills and open piles such as manure piles.

By using compost in agricultural activities, the energy use for transporting water and producing synthetic fertilizers and pesticides is reduced. It has been calculated that the amount of energy used to manufacture something for the first time is significantly lower than when remanufacturing it with recycled materials.

In this respect, the recycling of products produced with compostable materials and their regeneration by composting are of great importance in terms of less consumption of energy resources and therefore environmental protection.

Composting is the biological decomposition of organic waste under certain conditions. In the composting process, these organic wastes are broken down by carbon dioxide and water. This process takes place at about 60 degrees, in a special environment containing 80-90 percent humidity. With this method, compostable waste can be used as an energy source instead of fertilizer.

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