Gaining Zero Waste Australia (ZWA) Certification – Source separation of organic waste in commercial enterprises
ZWA has developed its own unique quality
standard for the source separation and collection of organic (green)
waste that will be used in producing carbon rich compost for farms and
other agricultural enterprises.
The Groundswell project set out to tackle the problems created by organic waste in landfill by turning it into a solution for agricultural soils.
Through a partnership between Goulburn Mulwaree, Palerang, Lachlan and Queanbeyan City Councils the project tested the viability of the City to Soil collection service and its capacity to engage communities to become part of the solution.
By taking the story all the way back to the farm, City to Soil shows us how we can "close the loop" on the nutrient cycle in a very practical way.
Stay tuned - new website to be launched in the new year.
