Researchers at Aalto have developed an ecological precision fertiliser for forests from compost and ash. Putretti is a sustainable forest fertiliser made out of municipal waste side streams. Fertilisation of forests boosts tree growth and thus increases both carbon sequestration and forest owner returns. It contains all the nutrients trees need – without chemical processes and mineral extraction which burden the environment. The carbon footprint of this fertiliser is only one-tenth that of a similar chemical product.
