What is the Compost Council of Canada?
Are you wondering what the Compost Council of Canada is all about? In this post, we’ll dive into what this amazing organization does and why Worm Wrangler is proud to have recently joined this group. The Compost Council of Canada is a non-profit organization that promotes organic waste management and composting practices in order to enhance soil health and preserve the environment. It’s a fantastic resource for composters and gardeners alike, as it provides education, outreach, and advocacy for all things compost and soil health.
The Compost Council of Canada was established in 1991 and has since been dedicated to the advancement of composting and compost use. Its mission is to advocate and ensure that organics are recognized as a valuable resource, that composting is recognized as a preferred management option, and that the infrastructure necessary to support composting initiatives is present and allows Canadians to responsibly manage organic residuals.
One of the Council’s main goals is to promote and educate people on the benefits of composting for soil health. Composting converts organic waste into a nutrient-rich fertilizer that improves soil health, enhances plant growth, and provides a natural, sustainable alternative to conventional synthetic fertilizers. The Council offers resources, tools, and workshops to help individuals and communities get started with composting, including a helpful guide on how to create high-quality compost for your garden.
As a member of the Compost Council of Canada, Worm Wrangler is committed to sustainable and eco-friendly practices. Worm Wrangler is passionate about promoting the use of compost and vermicompost for regenerative gardening and farming, and the Compost Council of Canada is an essential ally in the fight for climate action, soil health and to mitigate food waste.
Compost Quality Alliance
Another initiative of the Compost Council of Canada is the Compost Quality Alliance. The CQA was developed to help ensure the quality of compost products in Canada. Members of the CQA adhere to strict standards for testing, labeling, and marketing of their compost. This guarantees that customers receive a high-quality product that has been tested for safety, efficacy, and stability.
In conclusion, the Compost Council of Canada is an incredibly valuable organization that promotes sustainable and environmentally responsible waste management practices. Through education, outreach, and advocacy, the Council promotes the benefits of composting, is dedicated to improving soil health, and ensures that composting is recognized as a valuable management option. As a proud member of the Compost Council of Canada, Worm Wrangler is committed to sustainable and environmentally responsible practices and is passionate about helping others do the same.
