Vitagro

 Garden and Food organics are collected from council kerbside green bins, businesses, transfer stations, and self drop off. Once collected, the organic materials are delivered to Veolia’s Organic Resource Recovery Facilities where they are decontaminated, shredded, pasteurised, and turned into nutrient rich soil conditioner used in the Vitagro range.  

Veolia currently processes and manufactures Vitagro compost products in NSW, VIC and WA only.

Benefits:

• Composting diverts organic waste from Landfill, aiding waste reduction and reducing methane emissions
• Composting programs create local jobs and stimulate economic growth
• Composting projects can yield carbon credits, tradable on carbon markets or employed by organisations for emission offsets
• Compost enriches soil with diverse microorganisms, boosting nutrient cycling and soil vitality
• Compost microbes can suppress pathogens, reducing reliance on pesticides. They break down organic matter, releasing nutrients and converting atmospheric nitrogen for plant use
• Compost supplies vital macro and micro nutrients, promoting healthy plant growth. Decreasing reliance on synthetic fertilisers
• Compost helps stabilise and buffer soil pH, supporting plant growth in optimal conditions
• Slow release of nutrients minimises nutrient leaching and runoff 
• Compost components can bind to heavy metals, reducing their bioavailability and potential harm to the environment.
• Compost-amended soil retains moisture more effectively, reducing water stress on plants and reducing  irrigation needs
• Compost improves soil structure, alleviating soil compaction, improving drainage, aeration, and root penetration
• Improved soil structure reduces soil erosion, protecting valuable topsoil and preventing sediment runoff
