EcoScraps-Organic Compost made from Food Waste » About Us

About Us

So what exactly do we do?

We transform leftover fruits and veggies into highly nutritious, 100% organic soil through a special process similar to composting. Sounds fun, doesn’t it? Basically, we collect produce waste from grocery stores and wholesale food distributors, and then take them to our plant to be processed. All of the food we collect has gone bad and would otherwise be thrown away and taken to the dump. Our organic soil is perfect for home gardens, flower beds, potting plants and pretty much anything else that needs tons of awesome nutrients to grow.

 

Why is this so cool?

There are tons of reasons why EcoScraps is awesome, but we’ll just list a few:

1. You don’t have to worry about the ingredients we used to make it. Unlike other soils, we don’t use soil amendments that include nasty things like blood meal (yeah that stuff actually comes from BLOOD), bone meal or horse, cow, chicken, bat or any other type of animal poop. Just good old fruits and vegetables.

2. Our soil is so organic you can eat it…really! Now we don’t recommend it as a food source but if you happen to get some compost in your mouth while you’re planting some tomatoes don’t worry, you won’t die.

3. You don’t have to sacrifice quality. We ensure that our products have the same amount of nutrients that your plants need as any other product.

4. You can have a direct impact in protecting our environment. Using our soil conditioner removes food waste from landfills and decreases methane emissions, a greenhouse gas 20 times more harmful to the environment than CO₂. The production of one cubic foot of our compost mix reduces greenhouse gas emissions as much as you would if you didn’t drive your car for a month. Crazy, isn’t it?

And the list goes on and on…
