Can you tell me more about your efforts to reduce waste?
Absolutely. Our operations team is constantly looking for ways to reduce the amount of waste generated and options to divert waste from being sent to landfills.
In 2021, our operations implemented projects that reduced the amount of solid waste sent to landfills by over 500 tons.
We make every effort to divert organic waste to the most beneficial end use possible. Our organic waste can be used as animal feed, as feedstock for anaerobic digestion, as a composting substrate or as a synthetic nutrient substitute.
