Why we’re strict 

Why we’re strict 

 

 

Because standards matter.

They keep our people safe

 

Our composted products are used to grow food

 

They protect our processing equipment

 

They deliver consistent, high-quality compost

 

They support genuine circular-economy outcomes

 

Accepting “almost right” material leads to almost good outcomes — and that’s not how we operate.

 

What happens if a load doesn’t meet criteria
  • Loads may be rejected, downgraded or subject to contamination charges
  • Repeat contamination may impact ongoing acceptance
  • We’ll always communicate clearly — but responsibility sits with the generator.
