Our Greenwaste Process
Plateau Compost works with Councils to process their raw greenwaste, and turn it into beneficial material at our composting site in Kawerau.
Transporting to our facility
Once Greenwaste has been filtered, removing plastic, steel, concrete, and other non-greenwaste materials, the Greenwaste is transported to our dedicated composting facility in Kawerau.
We have a trusted relationship with local councils
Hogging & windrows
All Greenwaste is hogged (chopped up into smaller than 50mm pieces), and then mounded into windrows of up to 3m wide.
Temperature testing & turning
As the windrows begin the composting process, temperatures are monitored to ensure optimal composting conditions. These temperatures can reach up to 70°C. The windrows are periodically turned, allowing for aeration and correct moisture levels.

Combining for commercial use
After up to 8 months from hogging, the Greenwaste compost is ready to be mixed with the Kiwifruit based compost at a ratio of 1-2:1. Our Organic Compost is now ready to be used to boost production of your grass, plants, fruits and vegetables.
