Converted Organics gears up for holiday food waste
Nov. 23
The average American throws out 100 pounds of food waste annually,
with solid waste generation increasing by 25% during the holiday season,
according to one composting company.
Boston-based Converted Organics is gearing up for the busy holiday
season, in expectation of turkey carcasses, leftover stuffing and
uneaten cranberry sauce as leftover holiday dinners from Thanksgiving to
New Years end up in the trash.
The company is one of several across the country that collects food
waste and composts it into fertilizers for homes, golf courses, and
agriculture. Converted Organics is currently available at independent
garden centers across the country, as well as at The Home Depot
throughout the North East region.
