Compost your green waste easily

Compostable packaging biodegrades faster in a compost facility than in a landfill. It’s a great resource to feed and replenish soil and support plants. It also prevents the release of methane gas into the atmosphere which may occur if green waste decomposes in a landfill.

Add raw food waste, green waste and dry material.

After a few months, you will have compost ready to use.
