The National Compost Conference September 15-18, 2015 Gatineau, Québec www.compost.org
It’s all about Organics Recycling ! See composting and anaerobic digestion in action and many topics on odour management for Organic Waste Facilities
25 Years of Advocacy, Information Sharing, Networking and Inspiration form the basis of the upcoming National Compost Conference, to be held in Gatineau-Ottawa (Canada’s Capital Region) on September 15-16-17-18, 2015. From an original gathering of diverse interests, a common cause was established – to create a national forum and Council to advance the infrastructure of organics recycling across all levels of Canadian society. Now the #1 material that is recycled in Canada, organic residuals offer the solution for waste diversion goals, climate change mitigation, local economic improvements and enhanced soil health. The industry have come a long way with many more opportunities to be realized.
