Why organic waste management is the priority
Diverting organic waste from landfill reduces methane emissions and returns nutrients to the soil. Those two effects are why composting is treated as the most environmentally beneficial way to handle organics today.
Compostable is not biodegradable
The two terms are routinely confused. Compostable packaging breaks down through a specific process into nutrient-rich compost. Biodegradable materials may take far longer to degrade and do not always result in beneficial compost.
What that means for a site
If your waste stream includes packaging, check which of the two you actually have before assuming it can go into the machine with the food waste.
Where machines fit
Composting machines accelerate the natural decomposition process, ranging from small-scale units up to larger industrial systems, each tailored to specific needs.
