Organics Overview
Organic recycling markets prevent materials such as green waste, grass clippings, leaves, brush, and trees from ending up in landfills. These natural materials are often brought to organic recycling yards from landscapers, tree care professionals, waste management companies, and even residents. Recycling sites can process these materials into compost, mulch, soil amendments, biofuel, and other valuable end products.
Organics Application Case Studies
Compost
Unimax manufactures industry leading compost grinders for high volume production at a low cost per ton. In many states, organic material like brush, leaves, and grass have been banned from landfills because biodegradable waste in landfill breaks down to biogas containing methane, which if not captured is a potent greenhouse gas that harms the environment. Plus, much of this material is easily recycled into very valuable end products like fuel, mulch, and soil amendments. Aside from the economic benefits of high-volume compost production, well-published studies have confirmed compost’s positive impact on sequestering CO2 and improving soil health.
Yard Waste
Unimax manufactures industry leading yard waste grinders for a variety of uses. In many States, yard waste, green vegetative organic material like brush, leaves, grass etc. have been banned from landfills because biodegradable waste in landfill breaks down to biogas containing methane, which if not captured is a potent greenhouse gas that harms the environment. Plus, much of this material is easily recycled into very usable and salable end products like fuel, mulch, and soil amendments.
Mulch
Mulch grinders are an excellent way to free up space in your yard while creating a valuable end product. Wood debris from construction and land-clearing, bark from sawmills and clean wood derived from construction is often processed through mulch grinders and recycled. It is produced by grinding material into a variety of different sizes for different applications. From coarse-grade material for erosion control, to finer mulch for commercial or residential (frequently colored for aesthetics). Unimax grinders can be configured with a variety of tips and screens to ensure the desired specification size is met for your mulch.
