What Is Compost?

Compost is the natural process of food waste decomposing; Recycled organic waste and food matter becoming soil conditioner. Instead of having your consumers or staff throw away their food in a single trash bin, direct them to throw their waste in the individualized barrels dedicated to the waste's destination. Accumulate more compost by incorporating compostable products into your dining and carry-out experience. This makes throwing away items easier and with less mistakes. Consider compost as earth food. If everything you serve your consumers can later become fertilizer, then there goes the guilt of using an overhaul of products that may end up as pollution.
