Composting Benefit Calculator
Calculate CO2 diverted from landfill and compost value from food waste
Composting converts food and garden waste into nutrient-rich soil amendment, diverting material from landfill where it produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
💡
Tip: Add cardboard, paper, and dry leaves as browns to balance food scraps (greens) - a 2:1 carbon:nitrogen ratio prevents odour and speeds decomposition.

Fun Fact
If all UK household food waste were composted rather than landfilled, the greenhouse gas saving would equal removing 1.2 million cars from the road.
