BinBreeze, the world’s first provider of all-natural and non-toxic composting powder, just announced an expansion to serve the commercial market. 4kg compost powder packages will allow BinBreeze to better serve larger organizations in creating a healthier compost system.

The Victoria, BC-based company has been named a top five finalist for the Vancouver Economic Commissions Angels for Climate Solutions, an education and training program geared towards climate-focused startups looking to fundraise.

BinBreeze powder is sprinkled in composting bins throughout the composting process, creating a more nutrient-rich compost that speeds up compost turnover by enabling aerobic decomposition at an earlier stage of the composting process.

“We envision a world where composting is easy for everyone and that the impact of food waste is reduced,” said Taylor McCarten, Co-Founder and CEO of BinBreeze. “Many people assume that composting alone is great for our planet, however, the anaerobic process contributes a lot of harmful gasses and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Introducing BinBreeze’s compost powder to the commercial market will allow us to potentially reduce 30 percent of harmful greenhouse gas emissions produced in composting.”

Additional benefits include the elimination of odours and the natural dehydration and elimination of fruit flies.

Local facilities can expect to experience less odour, higher nutritional quality of compost, and a decreased need for mixing, turning and adding extra materials lowering the processing effort, as well as a reduction in methane emissions.

“BinBreeze doesn’t contaminate compost, it enhances it. By introducing added carbon earlier in the food waste diversion process, before the food waste sits and becomes anaerobic, we reduce the emissions and make healthier compost while benefiting all types of composting facility providers”, continued McCarten.

BinBreeze composting powder is scientifically-formulated, made up of naturally occurring minerals, fossilized algae and clean wood waste. A circular economy product, all of its ingredients are sourced from the earth and ultimately return there.

The clean wood waste used in the BinBreeze formula is sourced from industrial operations. Instead of burning this waste and creating harmful emissions, BinBreeze restores it to the soil in community compost operations.

A Dragon’s Den success story, BinBreeze is available in three scents: Lavender, Sweet Orange & Cinnamon, and Unscented, at over 500 retailers across Canada and online at BinBreeze.ca.
