Selection of ingredients

Our range of products are produced from organic waste materials, therefore providing a great net benefit to the environment and the community by preventing these materials from going to Landfill.

If left untreated, organic waste materials begin to break down, creating leachates and greenhouse gases that have negative impacts on both our groundwater and our air quality.

Amazon Soils is not only producing marketable products from this waste but are is also providing solutions to improving the quality of native soils, gardens, and crops.

Production

Amazon has production facilities north and south of the river, complete with state of the art screening and advanced composting equipments . For example our German built Wilibald compost turner is capable of turning 1 cubic metre of compost per minute. Turning is a critical process in composting which ensures optimum levels of oxygen, moisture and temperature are met, this ensures full pasteurisations of the compost which in turn ensures weed and disease free products are produced.

Quality Control

All our product batches go through strict quality control. Our company and laboratory operate under the guidelines of International Quality Standard ISO 9001.This involves the implementation of procedures at all levels with the primary objective of delivering quality products and services to our customers.
