Transforming industries across Australia with the power of compost
What is Cool Compost?
Cool Compost is a one-stop online resource centre for existing and new customers of quality commercial compost.
Through a series of videos, podcasts, fact sheets and specifications Cool Compost showcases the benefits of compost across a range of industries.
By using compost and returning this nutrient-rich resource back to our soil, organisations, businesses and individuals can play their part in diverting waste from landfill – all while driving the circular economy and creating a more sustainable future.
Cool Compost began as a showcase for successful and innovative projects funded under the NSW Environment Protection Authority’s $7.5 million Organics Market Development grants program.
The 38 ground-breaking projects helped to build markets for the increasing supply of compost made from kerbside food and garden waste (FOGO)
Our Cool Compost case studies demonstrate the benefits of compost across a range of industries and uses including sporting fields, mine and roadside rehabilitation, urban amenity, agriculture and horticulture.
