Organic Waste Diversion
Organic waste diversion refers to the process of redirecting organic waste materials, such as food scraps, yard trimmings, and other biodegradable items, away from the traditional waste stream of landfills or incineration. This practice aims to reduce the amount of organic waste that ends up in these disposal sites, instead opting for more sustainable and environmentally friendly methods of disposal or recycling, such as composting, anaerobic digestion, or conversion into bioenergy. By diverting organic waste, valuable nutrients can be returned to the soil, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a more circular economy.
