As organic materials (e.g. food)🥦are a key resource, how we manage their disposal is vital to the success of the #circulareconomy. BCS & CCS promote the CE by certifying organic waste recycling to create quality digestate & compost that can help grow new crops🥕.

🤔 Do you know what compost is? Organic waste 🍌🍗🍃 is ‘recycled’ through controlled decomposition. The result is compost – a nutrient-rich, soil-like material. It can be used in agriculture, forestry, land restoration, and horticulture.
