— Compost Crusader is trying to help businesses send less and less food waste to landfills.

The company, founded in 2014, looks to collect “organics” from businesses’ customers, such as food scraps or other compostable products. It then pays for that material to be recycled into the nutrient-rich soil at DNR-certified compost sites.

“From an environmental standpoint, being able to keep food waste out of landfills is really important,” said founder Melissa Tashjian. “There are things we can be diverting from the landfills and valuing them as a resource versus a waste.”
