What you’re seeing rising from our compost windrows is a natural and important part of the organics recycling process.
As organic materials break down, beneficial microorganisms generate heat. This heat drives moisture into the air, creating visible steam, particularly in the early morning or cooler conditions.
This process is critical because it:
– Indicates active biological decomposition
– Supports pathogen and weed seed reduction
– Helps stabilise nutrients before they’re returned to land
– Demonstrates controlled, compliant processing of organic materials
Our role is to carefully manage temperature, moisture and oxygen to ensure composting happens efficiently, safely, and in line with regulatory requirements. We apply proven science, experienced operators and purpose-built infrastructure to turn organic materials into valuable soil inputs.
