Organics wastes include industrial and commercial food waste, municipal food organics and green organics (FOGO), sludges and digestate, abattoir wastes, crop residuals (such as stubble), and animal manure and effluent.
Managing the beneficial use of these materials requires skills and experience across a range of disciplines. Our expertise in agriculture, land management, wastewater treatment, industry processes and environmental risk mean that we have the depth and breadth of knowledge to identify how biosolids can provide the best value for both producers and users. We manage the risks presented by nutrients, pathogens and contaminants to meet regulatory obligations, community expectations and long-term environmental sustainability.
Our network extends from individual farm owners to water corporations, dairy and food processing businesses, industry bodies and regulators, as well as local and state governments.
