Composting food waste is sustainable and cost effective

Composting your food waste and other organic waste to nutrient rich soil is a good idea both for the environment and for your wallet. The decomposed material is perfect for flowerbeds and vegetable gardens.

One third of your household waste is biodegradable. Today, collected food waste is transported to centralized facilities where it is used to produce biogas and biofertilizer. By composting your own food waste in your own garden, you help reduce both transportation and emissions. Additionally, it offers economical benefits; it can lower your waste handling costs.

The trend across Europe is clear; the European Union is tightening requirements for how organic waste should be sorted, treated and recycled. This makes composting in your own back yard both relevant and forward thinking. It’s practical and future oriented way to make use of biological resources.
