Up to a third of municipal waste is made up of organic or food waste; separating and composting this not only drastically reduces the amount of waste going to landfill, it can also generates a cheap, nutrient-rich natural fertiliser which can improve farming yields and restore soil quality. Composting organic waste materials can be done either with oxygen present (aerobically) or in the absence of oxygen (anaerobically). The latter process creates significant quantities of methane gas which can be captured and used to generate energy.
