🤔 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.

CCS has published a paper on composting and its benefits in celebration of ICAW. Here is the link ⬇ qualitycompost.org.uk/news/our-waste…
