Green waste as plant food

Industrial symbosis follows the principle that in nature the waste produced by one organism is food for another. Reuse of waste produced by one industry as raw material for another can dramatically reduce cost, landfill, resource depletion, energy use and greenhouse gase emissions.
Use of composted green waste to improved fertility of the BioReGen demonstration sites has been highlighted as an example of best practice by the National Industrial Symbiosis Programme NISP home page who have used it to publish a case study Read case study
