Composting & Soil Health
Insights and practical knowledge about composting and soil regeneration, from home systems to large-scale composting, and how organic waste can enrich and restore the soil.
Biogas and compost: different roles in the same system
Organic waste is often used to produce energy. But it also plays a role in maintaining soil health. Understanding how these two outcomes differ is key to making better use of organic resources.
Organic waste: an environmental threat or the best solution ever?
Surprisingly, organic waste like left-over food, vegetable skins, fruit peels, etc. is one of the top-5 threats to global warming.
Soil Alert
In the EU alone, 60-70% of our farmland is considered to be unhealthy. We need healthy farmland to be able to grow crops, fruits, and vegetables to feed the human population.
Nine reasons to choose Biobags
Organic waste and left-over foods make up more than 44% of global waste each year, adding up to almost 1 billion tons.
The importance of good soil health
Much of European farmland is sadly no longer suitable, or even able, to grow crops for human consumption.
Will compostable bioplastic be part of the EU's soil strategy?
Soil underpins our food systems and biodiversity, yet 60–70% in the EU is unhealthy. Each year a billion tons erode, costing agriculture about €1.25 billion.
Life depends on healthy soil
Experts come with an interesting message about certified compostable waste bags that contradicts previous information!
Biobag Ireland UK is now certified by Cré for use in Irish food waste bins.
Biobag Ireland UK is the first retail range of compostable bags certified for use in Irish food waste (brown) bins. Awarded by Cré IRELAND, this certification is the only Irish scheme providing independent assessment of compostable products.
The role of bioplastic in a circular economy
Biobags are made of Mater-Bi, a compostable material from Novamont, designed to move organic waste from landfills and incineration to biological decomposition, creating compost to enrich soil.
Microorganisms biodegrade biodegradable plastics
An ETH Zurich and EAWAG study shows microorganisms can fully break down biodegradable plastics into natural components.
