This “closed-loop” initiative turns the Academy’s food scraps and green waste into nutrient-rich compost, some of which is then returned to the campus to nourish its own landscape.
During Earth Month, Albuquerque Academy is announcing a landmark sustainability partnership with Soilutions, New Mexico’s premier composting and soil company, to divert the school’s food and green waste from landfills. This “closed-loop” initiative turns the Academy’s food scraps and green waste into nutrient-rich compost, some of which is then returned to the campus to nourish its own landscape.
The collaboration was sparked by an introduction from Albuquerque Academy Trustee Lia Armstrong, who recognized a shared mission between the school’s environmental goals and Soilutions’ expertise in regenerative waste management.
