The team here are busy turning waste food from nearby restaurants and hotels into this stuff: compost.

One of the biggest problems we noticed was that 30% of the waste produced within city… within Paris was actually made of organic waste.

We decided we could take this organic matter, which is very precious, and turn it into a solution, to turn it into compost.
我们决定把这些非常珍贵的有机物质变成解决问题的办法，变成堆肥。
Compost that is then sold in bulk to farmers.

This is good for the environment, because when food waste ends up in landfill
这样做对环境有益，因为食物垃圾被送往填埋场后会释放甲烷
it releases methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that warms up the planet.

In order to produce the compost a bit faster than you can in your garden, the team rely on industrial composters like these.
