At its core, composting is the process of turning organic waste food scraps, yard waste, and biodegradable materials back into soil.
Instead of sending this material to landfills, where it breaks down without oxygen and releases methane, composting allows organic waste to decompose naturally and safely, producing a nutrient-rich soil amendment.

Through emissions control initiatives delivered by our sister company, AltRoot, reductions achieved are equivalent to removing approximately 900 vehicles from the road in 2025 demonstrating how engineered environmental solutions translate into real outcomes.

Next week, we explore how composting fits into Albertaโs environmental landscape.
