According to the US compost council, about 72% of the waste stream is organic and should be composted. At Arrowaste we are working towards a goal of ‘ZeroLandfill’, a goal in which all trash produced is either recycled properly or composted properly ensuring the longevity of our landfills. With landfill space becoming harder to find, this ‘ZeroLandfill’ initiative is important. We will work with your business personally to figure out a composting plan that will help towards the goal of a ‘ZeroLandfill’ society.
By running a business that is environmentally friendly, it helps reduce the impact on our environment and preserves our Earth’s resources. With landfills closing because they are too full, and with little space left to put new ones, it is important to divert as much trash as possible – whether it be recycling or composting. However, we are not only saving landfill space. By composting we are also saving water. Since composting helps with moisture retention, it reduces the amount of water needed for plants to grow. Beyond that, it reduces the amount of greenhouse gases that are emitted by landfills.
Composting at your business can set you apart from your competitors and even many other businesses in the area. Composting puts your business in an elite class of businesses that are taking intentional steps to care for our environment. With more and more people caring about business practices, composting can be a way the perfect way to set yourself apart.
Composting helps to support local farmers that rely on the nutrient rich soil to grow their fruits and vegetables. Soil that is created via composting improves the growth of fruits and vegetables as well as the health and longevity.
