Perdue launches video to celebrate AgriRecycle anniversary, Earth Day
This April, Perdue AgriBusiness celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Perdue AgriRecycle, the nation’s first and largest commercial facility designed to turn poultry litter into pasteurized organic fertilizer.
According to data provided by the company, over the last decade, the Seaford, Del., facility has worked with the local Delmarva farming community to remove more than 1.5 billion pounds of poultry litter from the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem (more than 55 million lbs. of nitrogen, 28 million lbs. of phosphorus and 41 million lbs. of potassium). The facility remains the only solution operating in the region that measurably moves excess nutrients away from the environmentally-sensitive Chesapeake Bay watershed.
