Australian’s send over 5 million tonnes of food waste to landfill each, enough to fill 9,000 Olympic sized swimming pools and costing the economy an estimated $20 billion annually. When food is disposed in a landfill it rots and becomes a significant source of methane – a potent greenhouse gas with 21 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide. Composting can help by turning food waste into a nutrient-rich soil conditioner that will help your edibles thrive.
