Composting is the use of controlled aerobic microbiological metabolism to degrade organic materials and reduce pathogens by increased heat and increased microbial diversity. This process provides value to society and the environment in numerous ways. There are benefits both to the use of the process and use of the product - Compost!

Terre-Source works to promote and assist all of these uses and benefits of composting:
|

| þ | Composting produces a valuable
product from organic waste materials
|
||||
| þ | Composting reduces the volume of
organic waste materials
|
||||
| þ | Composting is a
natural
process which can be performed in a low-tech manner by any person in the community.
This accessibility can involve people in their environment and provide an
avenue for education about the impact of humans on their environment.
|
||||
| þ | In addition the process can be
automated using high tech monitoring and equipment to process large quantities of
sensitive materials such as biosolids, animal carcasses, and/or food wastes
|
||||
| þ | Composting diverts waste materials
from limited landfill volumes
|
||||
|

Composting can be used to degrade
certain organic contaminants (f.ex. N-based explosives) in various media such as
soils
