Why use a service provider to recover value from your bio-waste? According to estimates from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), bio-waste accounts for roughly one third of the waste produced worldwide. Recovering it properly brings many environmental, social and economic benefits, including lower greenhouse gas emissions and better production of natural fertilisers for agriculture.

Its features
Reducing waste
Recovering value from bio-waste reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill or incineration, which helps protect the environment and limit health impacts.
Production of natural fertilisers
Bio-waste can be turned into compost or organic fertiliser, which are natural fertilisers rich in nutrients. This practice reduces the use of chemical fertilisers, which can have negative impacts on health and the environment.
Production of renewable energy
Bio-waste can also be used to produce renewable energy, such as biogas. Biogas can be used to produce electricity, heat or fuel, which contributes to the energy transition.
Second life
Bio-waste can become compost or biogas, which are then reused in agriculture or industry.
Creation of local jobs
Recovering value from bio-waste can also help create local jobs in collection, sorting, composting, anaerobic digestion and fertiliser production.
