Separate biodegradable waste
at home is now within reach
of our residents!
Infralobo offers a new biodegradable waste collection service.
Through the efficient waste collection system, Smart Waste, Infralobo will collect biodegradable waste from both residential areas and commercial establishments, transporting them to a treatment facility, as biological waste is a valuable resource for improving the environment.
We count on you!
The environment appreciates it, and so do we.
Biodegradable Waste
Biodegradable waste refers to the leftovers from food preparation and food scraps, such as fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, and bread, among others, which make up an average of almost 37% of the household waste bin.
These waste materials can be transformed into compost or natural fertilizers through composting, thus avoiding their disposal in landfills.
HOW IT WORKS ?
1. SEPARATE
Separate biodegradable waste using the provided bags, as they are suitable for bio-waste collection.
2. DEPOSIT
Use the provided bucket to dispose of your biodegradable waste and wait for the doorstep collection or deposit it in the nearest container to your home.
3. USE THE 5TH CONTAINER
At Infralobo's waste collection stations, there will be an additional container with a distinct image indicating that bio-waste should be deposited there.
4. INFRALOBO COLLECTS
Infralobo will collect biodegradable waste from both residential areas and restaurants through the efficient waste collection system, Smart Waste.
5. THE ENVIRONMENT APPRECIATES
The bio-waste will be transported to a treatment facility, as biological waste is a valuable resource for improving soil quality and other purposes.

2. What are the advantages of composting?
Composting allows for the reduction of organic waste going to landfills, helping to decrease the amount of waste produced and contributing to environmental preservation.
Additionally, the resulting compost from this process is a nutrient-rich fertilizer that can be used in agriculture and gardening, providing a sustainable source of nutrients for plants and improving soil quality. By using compost as organic fertilizer, it is also possible to reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers, which are harmful to the environment and human health.
Apart from that, by avoiding the decomposition of organic waste in landfills, composting helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
3. What is the difference between biodegradable waste and composting?
Biodegradable waste refers to all organic waste that can be used for compost production, such as food scraps, leaves, branches, eggshells, and other biodegradable materials (see list above).
Composting is the process that transforms biodegradable waste into organic compost, which can be used as fertilizer. Composting can be done with other types of organic waste besides biodegradable waste, such as agricultural or industrial waste, but not all are suitable for composting.
4. What happens to the compost?
During composting, organic waste undergoes a series of transformations that result in the production of a stable and odorless material: the compost.
This compost can be used as organic fertilizer in agriculture, gardening, or community gardens. When used as fertilizer, compost contributes to improving soil quality by increasing water and nutrient retention, reducing erosion and soil compaction, and promoting plant growth and health. Additionally, composting helps reduce the amount of waste.
