Casella Organics is a Northeast leader in the beneficial use and recycling of organic and mineral resources. According to Jen McDonnell, Casella Organic’s Director of Sales & Marketing, “Casella Organics joined Biobased Maine because we believe that resource optimization and innovation is the key to Maine’s future.  Biobased products are central to sustainable circular economies and we embrace the organization’s support for this growing sector.”

One interesting aspect of Casella Organic’s work is anaerobic digestion, whichPrint means transforming organic materials (like plants) into nutrient-rich soil amendments and biogas using natural processes. For example, one of the anaerobic digesters Casella operates takes whey waste from a dairy and transforms it into a liquid fertilizer product that can be used instead of synthetic fertilizers, while at the same time producing power to feed back to the grid. Casella Organics also distributes a line of soil amendments and fertilizers under the earthlife® brand.
