What our bodies don’t use gets flushed down the toilet and travels to a wastewater treatment plant. At the plant, the solids are transformed into a fertilizer alternative called biosolids. The quality of the biosolids is closely monitored through laboratory testing. The finished product is transported to customers as an alternative to synthetic fertilizer. In California, typical crops grown with biosolids are hay and forage grasses. These crops feed animals, which creates food, and the cycle continues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec45f2667d45c0183c033a2/1592264441829-LFB8N3JDB7ZPCG1KUBCD/V3.1_CARBON_RICH_FERTILIZATION.png About Biosolids Fertilizing with carbon-rich biosolids allows us to 1) reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers, which require a lot of energy to produce; 2) grow larger plants, which removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and returns carbon to the soil; 3) stores carbon in the soil long-term (sequestration). https://www.bayareabiosolids.com/faqs daily 0.75 2024-02-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec45f2667d45c0183c033a2/1600380314794-9CTHKQPQKWAUX63M8HHX/V3.1_WASTEWATER_TREATMENT_BABC.png FAQs Wastewater travels to the treatment plant from businesses and homes.
