Unlock value from waste by recovering valuable resources within organic waste to allow conversion into nutritious compost to grow new crops in.
Organic waste and left-over foods make up more than 44% of global waste each year, adding up to almost 1 billion tons. In Australia, it is estimated approximately 5.3 million tonnes of food waste goes to landfill each year. By collectively changing a small habit like the bag we collect food waste with, councils don't just reduce harm - they actually actively replenish the soil.
Distributing compostable bags to residents is more than just handing out a bag; it’s about providing residents with a tool to contribute making a positive environmental impact. What’s great about our bags is that they become part of the waste it carries. This allows to recover the valuable resources within the organic waste by converting it into nutritious compost to grow new crops in.
Compost enriches soil, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and promoting healthier crop growth. Providing residents with compostable bags has proven to make a difference. For instance, the South Australian Government found providing households with compostable bags and a ventilated bio basket increased food waste diversion rates to 54.5%, compared to just 9.3% when no bags were provided. This shift not only makes composting more effective but also encourages residents to be more mindful of their waste sorting.
