Maximize Cost Savings and Sustainability by Grinding Nursery Green Waste

Nurseries can generate substantial organic waste, including prunings, cull plants, root wads with soil, and unsellable plants. Grinding this waste for recycling boosts both cost savings and sustainability.

On-site recycling reduces disposal costs and the need to buy external soil ingredients or compost, leading to significant savings. Grinding green waste enhances nutrient cycling and retention, enriching the soil with essential minerals and ingredients already purchased by the grower. This ensures a sustainable supply of growing materials for potting mixes and promotes a circular economy within nursery operations.

Many nurseries also choose to reincorporate the processed organic material into open fields to amend soils for in-ground planting. This practice further improves soil quality and supports healthier plant growth.

Composting processed waste naturally reduces pests and diseases, cutting down on chemical use. Nexterra is committed to helping nurseries achieve efficient, eco-friendly waste management for a sustainable future.
