RUSSELLVILLE, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Denali, the nation’s leading recycler of organics, today announced that ReCirculate – its compost product made from unconsumed food sourced from thousands of grocery stores – is now available for purchase at over 100 Walmart locations across eight southern states. Packaged in one-cubic-foot bags, ReCirculate will be available in more than 600 Walmart stores nationwide by April, just in time for the height of the spring planting season.
Denali partners with retailers, like Walmart, to leverage its unsalable food with Denali’s innovative depackaging technology, separating organic food from its packaging and transforming it into a clean stream of materials that are then converted into useful products such as compost, soil, fertilizer and renewable energy. This process streamlines the depackaging process for retailers while keeping unsold food out of landfills.
"The ReCirculate product is a perfect example of Walmart's circular business models and how we make the most of our resources," said RJ Zanes, Walmart VP of Facility Services. "We're taking unsalable merchandise and repurposing it into a different product we can sell on our shelves – benefitting our business, our customers, and the planet."
Denali repurposes unconsumed food, helping fight climate change by diverting organic material from landfills and returning valuable nutrients to agriculture and horticulture.
“At Denali, we’re on a mission to harness the potential of organic waste and ReCirculate is an example of how we can do that,” said Eric Speiser, Denali’s chief revenue officer. “ReCirculate will leverage the nutrients in organic food waste to help build sustainable green spaces, landscaping, gardens, flower beds and more, all while powering a fully circular economy.”
