As a cannabis grower, you see behind the scenes of what all it takes to produce the high-quality bud that is sold in store. From nurturing the seedlings and pruning the full-grown plants to trimming buds once flowering begins and sorting out any low-quality, unusable parts. 

Throughout the process, there can be a lot of organic waste created from the marijuana plants. However, it doesn’t have to go to waste when you partner with A1 Organics to recycle your organic cannabis waste to create nutrient-rich compost.

The Importance of Recycling Your Cannabis Waste

No matter how established your growing process may be or how much you utilize different parts of the plan to create other cannabis products, creating a certain amount of cannabis waste is unavoidable due to bad or expired batches, post-extract waste, and traditional waste from trimming. 

With the rise of cannabis growing, the amount of waste created is becoming overbearing. As a grower, you have two options — to throw the waste away or to recycle it into compost. If you choose to throw away the waste, many regulations apply as it can cause an unhealthy amount of methane and carbon dioxide to be produced in the landfill as the cannabis waste decomposes.

By recycling your cannabis waste, the production of these greenhouse gases can be reduced, while creating a nutrient-rich compost that can be used to grow healthy plants all across the nation. Contact A1 Organics today to learn more about recycling your cannabis waste!
