Are you ready for International Composting Awareness Week?

Join us in celebrating all the benefits of composting

International Composting Awareness Week (ICAW) is the largest educational initiative of the composting industry. The goal is to raise awareness of all the benefits when composting food and green organics! New Zealand, though small, plays a significant role in raising awareness about the benefits of composting and enriching our soils.

This year’s theme for ICAW is Sustainable Communities Begin with Compost! Find out more here.
