Denali continued to lead the nation as a recycler of organics in 2024, transforming organic materials into 12 billion pounds of high-quality feed and fertilizer.
According to Denali’s newly released 2024 Sustainability Report, the recycled agriculture-grade products fed nearly 50,000 cattle and enriched more than 100,000 acres of farmland, which helped build resilience for American agriculture, supporting healthy soils, nourishing livestock, and reducing dependency on synthetic fertilizers.
Denali’s work delivered significant impact for farmers across the U.S., including:
● Nourishing more than 50,000 head of cattle by creating 360 million pounds of animal feed;
● Creating 9.6 billion pounds of natural fertilizer that supported more than 100,000 acres of farmland across the U.S. – equivalent to 75,757 football fields;
● Avoiding an estimated 750,000 MTCO₂ metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent through the total impact of creating 2.4 billion pounds of nutrient-rich compost, mulch, and soil amendments; and
● Significantly lowering fertilizer costs for farmers, which comprises 40% of a farmer’s total operating costs for growing corn, according to the National Corn Growers Association.
Denali works with grocers, food manufacturers, municipalities, and foodservice operators to collect organics that would otherwise be sent to the landfill and uses one of the largest mechanical depackaging technology networks in the country, to recover the most clean, recyclable organic material and convert it into agriculture-grade products.
