▶ What is Re-Nuble?
This Green Back Approach™ to organic waste management creates a closed loop system that supports local sustainability efforts. The net result is less pollution, healthier crops, fewer fossil fuels, and a greener planet for everyone. Contact us to learn more.
▶ What do you do exactly?
- Pick up organic waste from farmers, supermarkets, and restaurants within the community
- Recycle this organic waste using a safe, environmentally friendly composting process
- Repurpose the compost into clean, renewable energy and organic, all-natural fertilizer
This organic fertilizer goes directly to local farmers, gardeners, and landscapers, helping them establish sustainable agriculture, thus completing the loop.
As a result, we minimize waste, reduce pollution, and make the food we eat healthier. Contact us to learn more.
▶ What are the community benefits of Re-Nuble’s organic waste collection and processing?
1. By collecting organic waste from area eating establishments and local farms, we reduce the amount of recyclable material that reaches incinerators and landfills. This, in turn, reduces greenhouse emissions since organic material that rots in landfills is one of the primary contributors to methane and other toxic greenhouse gasses.
2. By recycling organic material into all-natural fertilizer, we allow local farmers, gardeners, and landscapers to adopt sustainable agriculture. Not only do communities receive healthier, tastier crops, but they also benefit from reduced soil erosion, pollution, and chemical exposure.
3. By working closely with local stakeholders, we empower everyday individuals to effect positive change within their communities. Fading are the days of top-down solutions in which politicians control the environmental future of our planet. Local activism has proven an incredibly powerful and important weapon in the fight for global sustainability.

▶ What are the environmental benefits of Re-Nuble’s plan?
• Fewer greenhouse emissions as a result of recycling waste rather than letting it sit in landfills. Organic materials left to rot in dumps is a major source of methane – a greenhouse gas with 21-25 times the global warming impact of CO2.
• Reduced reliance on fossil fuels as a result of increased organic fertilizer use. We encourage farmers to use all-natural fertilizers made from organic inputs rather than petro-fertilizers made from fossil fuels.
• Reduced reliance on fossil fuels as a result of the green, renewable energy we create during the composting process. We sell this clean electricity directly to local utilities, allowing them to lower their fossil fuel intake.
• Healthier soil, air, water, and crops as a result of organic fertilizers. Organic fertilizers lead to higher crop yields, reducing the need to clear more land for cultivation. The associated benefits of all-natural composting are many. For a longer list, click here.

▶ Is Re-Nuble a nonprofit organization?
To accomplish this, we created a simple business model that literally turns wasted efforts into profitable opportunities. Rather than let trash remain trash, we harness this organic waste to produce all-natural fertilizers and green energy.
