Don’t bin it, compost it: a beginner’s guide to smarter food waste

Composting is the process of recycling organic matter (garden waste, food scraps and more) into a nutrient-rich mixture used to enrich soil.

Studies show composting organics produces far fewer emissions than sending them to landfill, decreasing CO2 equivalent gases by more than 50% depending on method, conditions and food type.

There are hundreds of different composting solutions on the market, designed to suit different situations, tastes and budgets.
