Composting
Composting is nature’s way of recycling. In this process, organic waste—such as food and yard waste—breaks down and is converted into valuable fertilizer. Composting is another great way to reduce food waste, divert landfill waste and lower a business’ carbon footprint by avoiding emissions associated with landfills and incineration. Healthy soil, which can be created by compost, directly sequesters carbon out of the atmosphere and helps prevent erosion.
