🌱 Successful composting lies in the balance between carbon and nitrogen. A carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N) ratio of about 25:1 is a good balance for breaking down organic matter effectively and creating rich, nourishing compost. 👍 Start composting now to make your garden thrive this year!

Reencle is a home composter that is set to disrupt and upscale home composting with it’s trademarked microorganism that self-reproduces and helps to quickly break down food waste and scraps. 🍃 Unlike others on the market that simply dehydrate food waste, the composter by Reencle creates a 'nutrient-rich crumble' in as little as 24 hours, producing a garden-grade soil healthy enough to enrich existing soil and grow plants. 💸 Composters fueled by micro-organisms not only contribute to the vision of a greener future, but also changes how we perceive waste at home. Imagine a world where compost has a re-sale value, akin to selling back energy from solar panels. Could household food waste become the rich foundations for urban food production? 💡 Can you imagine if all home systems were designed to maximise the value of their waste? • This Signal of Change was discovered by our Innovation Designer, Denisse. • So, what do we mean by a Signal of Change? — In future thinking you might hear people talk about signals. At INDUSTRY of Us, we think of a Signal of Change as a novel, relevant and previously unforeseen innovation that indicates a potential future disruption whose impact is unpredictable but scalable. • #HereForInnovators #Insight #Innovation #Creative #Curious #Collaborative #DesignResearch #DesignThinking #CreativeFacilitation #SignalsOfChange #FutureVision #FutureThinking #Foresight #ScrapsToRiches #WasteFreeFuture #INDUSTRYofUs

Today is World Recycling Day! 🌍♻️ This is a moment that makes us reflect on our approach to ecology. Recycling is a powerful tool that can change the face of our world. For example, the process of recycling paper reduces the cutting of trees, which is of great importance for maintaining the balance of forest ecosystems and biodiversity. When it comes to responsible waste management, we are not neutral - on the contrary! The products we offer reflect our high environmental commitment: - EKO SACK paper sacks made from at least one layer of recycled paper are our answer to the growing demand for sustainable packaging, - HOT LOCK/EASY OPEN paper sacks, with their innovative closing/opening system, help reduce operating costs by reducing the use of additional materials and electricity. You can see for yourself that every gesture matters, so we encourage you to take an active role in protecting the environment. Check out our full range of ecological packaging and together with us create a better tomorrow for future generations.

Ever toss something 'compostable' into the bin and wonder if it's just going on a round trip back to your shopping list instead of becoming one with Mother Earth? 🌎😅 Well, at HeyJute™, we're cutting the compost confusion. 🌿 Our vision is bold: to craft products that bypass the need for any waste management system altogether. Imagine using a product for decades, and then, instead of needing a facility to break it down, you simply return it to nature, where it enhances rather than burdens the environment. So what do we offer? Products made of Jute. A jute bag will last you a decade, at least. And when you're done with it (whenever that happens), you can just lay the fabric into the soil of your garden, or just return it to nature. Jute will decompose naturally and coalese with the soil and in fact promote further vegetative growth! No outside management system required. We also offer plates and bowls made of leaves and twings. Yes, that's right 100% leafs and twigs. Check out LilLeaf.net — an emblematic of our commitment to this vision. These products are a testament to the elegance and resilience of nature, designed to be reintegrated with the earth seamlessly, like a leaf falling to the ground. 🍃 When you're done with it, dispose of it as you would a leaf. At HeyJute, we go beyond creating recyclable items (recyling is a busted myth); we're pioneering a new era of innovation with products that enrich our ecosystems naturally. This is the HeyJute™ difference. #Sustainability #Innovation #HeyJute #EcoFriendlyLiving #WasteReduction #SalLeafSolutions #groceryinnovation #nogreewashing #greenwashing #homecompostable #compostablepackaging #composting #sustainableproducts #sustainableprocurement

Composting at your workplace or commercial property requires properly sorting acceptable organic materials. To help ensure your compost stream stays contaminant-free, keep these key dos and don'ts in mind: Don't: Put plastic bags in your curbside bin. Do: USE your green bin! Don't: Compost shiny, heavily dyed paper/board Do: Freeze your scraps until collection day to reduce the 'ick' factor. Don't: ASSUME. Do: Ask Questions & check your hauler's specific guidelines! Proper sorting is crucial for a successful commercial composting program. At Waste Not Consulting, helping you implement streamlined systems is our specialty.

LanzaJet is committed to sustainability, not just in our ethanol-to-SAF technology process, but also in our office practices. That’s why we’re proud of our office composting program, a simple yet impactful initiative that aligns perfectly with our mission at LanzaJet. Each week, our dedicated team collects organic waste from our kitchen compost bin and our colleague Brett King takes it home to add to a managed compost pile. There, it’s carefully tended—turned regularly and balanced with yard waste–to maintain optimal decomposition conditions. After a year, this nutrient-rich compost is used to enrich the soil in Brett’s garden, closing the loop on our organic waste. By composting, we can lessen our carbon footprint and also support soil health and biodiversity in local gardens. Join us as we continue to find innovative ways to contribute to a more sustainable world. #SAF #EarthDay #composting #ecofriendly #zerowaste #recycle #environment #sustainability #EverydayIsEarthDay #SomedayIsNow
