At Salish Soils, they believe in the renewable spirit of nature. They honor the earth by empowering people, while healing lands – collecting, receiving and composting waste resources into high quality organics.

Let's have a simple breakdown and the importance of the solution Salish Soil is providing for their clients. Majorly Salish soils are into recycling of organic waste disposal. 

Recycling organic waste disposal refers to the process of collecting, treating, and reusing organic materials, such as food scraps, yard waste, and other biodegradable materials, rather than sending them to landfills or incineration facilities. This approach aims to divert organic waste from traditional waste disposal methods and instead utilize it for beneficial purposes, such as composting or anaerobic digestion.

Importance of Recycling Organic Waste:

1. Reducing Landfill Burden: Organic waste makes up a significant portion of the waste that goes to landfills. When organic waste decomposes in landfills, it generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. By recycling organic waste, we can significantly reduce methane emissions and the strain on landfill capacity.

2. Creating Compost: Composting organic waste involves breaking down materials like food scraps and yard waste in a controlled environment. The resulting compost is a nutrient-rich soil amendment that improves soil structure, water retention, and overall soil health. It can be used in gardens, farms, and landscaping, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.

3. Energy Generation: Anaerobic digestion is a process that breaks down organic materials in an oxygen-free environment, producing biogas (methane and carbon dioxide) and nutrient-rich digestate. Biogas can be used as a renewable energy source for electricity and heat generation, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

4. Closing the Nutrient Loop: Recycling organic waste helps close the nutrient cycle. Nutrients from food and plant materials are returned to the soil through compost or digestate application. This reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers and minimizes nutrient pollution in water bodies.

5. Conservation of Resources: Recycling organic waste conserves valuable resources by turning waste into a valuable product (compost or biogas) that can be used to improve soil fertility and support sustainable agricultural practices.

6. Promoting Ethical Sustainable Practices: Recycling organic waste is a part of a broader effort to promote sustainability and reduce our ecological footprint. It encourages responsible waste management practices and supports the transition to a circular economy.

7. Educational Opportunity: Implementing organic waste recycling programs can raise public awareness about waste reduction, composting, and sustainable living practices. It empowers individuals and communities to make environmentally conscious decisions.

8. Job Creation: Recycling organic waste can create new employment opportunities in areas such as composting facilities, anaerobic digestion plants, waste collection, and more.

Overall, recycling organic waste is important for environmental, economic, and social reasons. It helps mitigate climate change, reduce landfill usage, conserve resources, and foster more sustainable waste management practices. By participating in organic waste recycling programs, individuals and communities contribute to a cleaner environment and a more resilient and sustainable future.
