The power of resource recovery grows from within our Australian homes and businesses. By introducing VitagroTM, we take the raw organic materials generated by our households and businesses and produce rich organic compost and mulches.
What is Vitagro?
Vitagro is a soil conditioner made from residential garden waste, organic liquid waste and commercial organic feedstocks. Once collected, the organic material is delivered to our Organic Resource Recovery Facility where it is shredded, composted and turned into a nutrient rich soil conditioner. The blend of raw organic material helps to improve soil moisture retention, plant vigour and provide an environmentally-friendly alternative to chemical fertilisers.
By improving moisture retention and aeration of our soil, Vitagro will provide strength in our plants and enhance their ability to defeat the stresses associated with drought and diseases.
Every batch produced is tested against the requirements of Australian Standard 4454.
By choosing to use Vitagro you are closing the loop and creating a more sustainable future for our environment.

FAQs
What is Veolia’s composting process?
Garden organics are collected from council kerbside green bins, transfer stations, landscapers and home garden maintenance companies to produce rich organic recycled composts and mulches. Veolia’s compost is made from renewable resources and as such is a sustainable product. The garden wastes used in the manufacture of the compost are generally contaminated with a range of non-compostable with plastic bags being a prime contributor.
Veolia utilises advanced processes for removing these contaminants from the final product, however, the occasional presence of such materials in the compost serves as a reminder of the nature of the recycled materials used in the process.
Veolia currently processes and manufactures Vitagro compost in NSW and WA only.
