Thank you for contacting Happy Earth Compost! We are excited to potentially partner with your company to reduce food-waste in the Houston area.
Food-waste accounts for up to 24% of the total landfill volume nation-wide. This means up to 600,000 tons of food-waste goes into Houston landfills per year.
Once inside the landfill, food-waste breaking down emits several greenhouse gases, primarily methane. Methane from landfills is the #3 contributor to human-related methane emissions in the USA.
Happy Earth Compost, along with the partnerships of companies like yours, redirects this waste stream to sustainable composting. Together we can help with climate change while reducing your current waste usage.
