Why organic waste?
Organic waste forms a significant proportion of waste generated in Australia, and an even more significant portion of waste sent to landfills. Degradation of organics in landfills generate the potent greenhouse gas methane (methane is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide) and also produces potentially polluting leachate.
Diverting organics from landfill has a double benefit – reduced landfill gas emissions and sequestered soil carbon contributing to improved farm production..
