Biosolids

Biosolids are nutrient-rich organic materials resulting from the treatment of sewage sludge in wastewater treatment plants. After proper processing to reduce pathogens and odors, they can be safely recycled and used as fertilizer or soil amendment. This helps return valuable nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus to the land, promoting plant growth. When managed correctly, biosolids are an environmentally sustainable way to recycle waste, contributing to soil health and reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. Their use is regulated to ensure safety, making biosolids a beneficial resource rather than waste.
