Compost – a certified product made from organic waste
Compost is a natural soil improver produced through the controlled biological treatment of organic waste. It is rich in essential nutrients and organic matter, helping to improve soil structure, increase water retention, and support healthy plant growth.
At FCC Environment CEE, compost is not a by-product—it is a quality-controlled product that plays a key role in the circular economy.
From biowaste to a valuable resource
Organic waste, such as food scraps, garden waste, and green cuttings, is often perceived as useless or problematic. Through professional composting, however, this material is transformed into a valuable resource that can be safely returned to the environment.
While compost is sometimes mistakenly seen as “dirty” or low quality because it originates from waste, it is important to remember that all compost—including home compost—is made from organic waste. The real difference lies in process control, quality assurance, and certification.
FCC compost is produced under strictly monitored conditions and meets national quality standards across our operating countries.
Certified quality you can trust
All FCC compost products are subject to regular testing and certification to ensure:

Interesting fact about compost
On average, about 300–400 kg of compost is produced from one ton of biodegradable waste, depending on the composition of the input material. Due to a more favourable input composition, FCC achieves significantly lower material loss. With a loss rate of only 43%, FCC produces, on average, 570 kg of compost from one ton of biodegradable waste.
