Cannabis and Composting Webinar
Thanks for joining us for a fantastic webinar!
What does it mean for composters to render cannabis unusable?
Half the country has legal cannabis in some form, but NJ officially legalized recreational use just weeks ago. That means we're likely to see a big uptake in organic waste. Whether you're in NJ or anywhere in the world we hope you'll join us to explore this topic.
- What does it mean for Cannabis producers handling new volumes of material?
- What challenges are there for making sure the excess is handled in a sustainable manner?
- How can we take advantage of this new opportunity responsibly?
Our experts will cover these questions and many more!
