According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, “Municipal solid waste landfills are the third-largest source of human-related methane emissions in the United States, accounting for approximately 15.1 percent of these emissions in 2018.” Blue Ribbon reroutes waste to create a product that not only addresses the needs of the nation’s ever-degrading topsoil situation and a warming Earth, but also provides fertile ground for growing healthy gardens, crops and perennials.

In 2019, between Blue Ribbon’s flagship site and one municipality’s compost site they manage, they diverted 7.3 million pounds of food waste from landfills. That number continues to grow, helping the Earth and the gardeners on it.
