As a compost collection partner, Easy Earth is facilitating the waste collection and commercial composting of food waste and certified compostable packaging. What happens after the waste is collected? What does the composting process look like at Easy Earth?
Composting is a biological process that occurs naturally through bacteria growth and tissue decay. We are using the HotRot system to provide the best conditions for these natural processes to happen and creating nutrient rich and weed-free compost, without causing methane emissions and leachate which are common in most alternative composting systems.
Once the material comes out of the hotrot machine, it is piled into windrows for further decomposition and maturation. We test our compost in many different ways to ensure it is a nutrient rich material that can be used to condition soil and boost plant growth.
