As organic materials (e.g. food)🥦are a key resource, how we manage their disposal is vital to the success of the #circulareconomy.
BCS & CCS promote the CE by certifying organic waste recycling to create quality digestate & compost that can help grow new crops🥕.
📢BCS & CCS are pleased to participate in #CEWeek2024.
This week of events, hosted by @ReLondon_UK, celebrates various ways to adopt a circular economy.
We’ll be attending 2 events:
