Global Recycling Day: what about your kitchen waste?

Today, 18 March, is Global Recycling Day. A great opportunity to talk about the waste we often forget to recycle: kitchen waste.

580 kg of waste per person

In France, each person produces an average of 580 kg of waste every year. Part of our bin is made up of organic waste: peelings, leftovers, coffee grounds, tea bags… This waste is not rubbish. It is a resource that can become fertile soil again.

Our customers have been recycling since 2007

Since 2007, with our wormeries and our little Willy worms, our customers have recycled around 78,000 tonnes of waste, by our estimates. We are very proud of this figure: every peeling handed over to the worms means a little less waste to transport and process, and a little more natural fertiliser for plants.

Where should you start?

There is a solution for every household:

• The wormery: the worms turn your peelings into vermicompost, even in a flat.
• The composter: ideal if you have a garden and green waste.
• Bokashi: it ferments all food leftovers, including meat and dairy products.

To find out which one suits you, read our comparison compost, vermicompost, bokashi or EM.

And how much waste have you already recycled? Discover our wormeries to get started.
