Why Composting in the Office Makes a Difference
Tackling climate change is the challenge of our century and it can be quite a daunting one – even more so as a business given the various stakeholders and operational demands. At Compostable, we’ve got you. Consider us the green glove service when it comes to diverting organic material from the landfills and using it as a resource directly in your community. Be at the forefront of sustainable business practices by joining the community composting movement.
Community Composting: the answer to climate change - and soil health.
Composting, and especially community composting, allows organic material to become resources rather than waste. By returning your office’s food scraps to the soil locally, you ensure those essential nutrients go back into the soil to feed the plants that feed us, closing the food-to-food loop and creating a hyper-local food system. Plus, keeping it local saves the emissions from traditional hauling models - a win-win situation.

Be a Changemaker: get started at your office.
Let us take the lead in your efforts to compost in the break room, offices, and anywhere there are organics onsite. We’ll review your current flow and identify the best composting solutions for you. Personalized educational signage and materials are included to make it a piece of cake to know what goes into the compost bin and what doesn’t. We also offer compostable disposables that have been vetted to truly break down in the soil and offer consulting on switching to reusables.
Bringing composting to the office is exciting and provides much needed relief to climate anxiety! Included in our corporate packages is a Meet-and-Greet event, an informational setup to engage with your team, educate about the ‘why’ of composting, and giveaway compost tea bags made from the food scraps collected from members like you!
All the Perks - Beyond Diversion
Your composting journey doesn't end there. Our corporate packages offer more options for you to expand your reach towards sustainability.
- Data-driven results: Grasp the potential of your business’s diversion with an initial waste audit and quarterly impact reports from us.
- Tenant engagement and connections: We offer activities in and out of the office to up your game when it comes to team building. Think workshops, exclusive urban farm tours, or even adding a worm bin to your space to witness the composting process first hand.
- Connect with your community: Participate in corporate volunteer opportunities to support mission-driven organizations doing environmental work locally. Pre-vetted and tailored to your business’s interests, we make getting involved with your community easy.
- Become a sustainability hub: The Compost Drop-Off option allows employees to bring their food scraps from home. Set-up a scale closeby, and it becomes a friendly competition of who composts the most in the office. What a fantastic incentive for your team to get back to the workplace more regularly.
