Perfecting the Green & Wood Waste Transformation Loop
Veransa® is perfecting the green loop of wood and yard waste recycling. We produce products that are beneficial to farmers and the ecosystem as a whole. We create value from wood and yard waste by transforming it into usable commodities that:
- Regenerate agricultural soil;
- Restore watersheds and waterways; and,
- Reduce carbon in the atmosphere.
As populations grow, so grows generation of green waste. In sub-tropical states like Florida, green waste is generated year-round. On average each Floridian generates between 500 and 1000 lbs. of wood and yard waste annually. It is estimated that Floridians generate over 7 million tons of this material, with over 3 million tons in the Tampa Region alone.
Many states, including Florida, have laws that provide for this material to be recycled, and prohibit disposal in landfills. However, most green waste in Southeast is either incinerated or dispose of by spreading it onto open fields where it rots and emits greenhouse gasses for little or no environmental or economic benefit. Veransa®‘s value added recycling approach creates genuine environmental and economic sustainability.
