Launch of ReCirculate Compost By Denali

Denali, a leading recycler of organics, announced that its ReCirculate compost product is now available for purchase at over 100 Walmart stores across eight southern states. Packaged in one-cubic-foot bags, ReCirculate will expand to more than 600 Walmart locations nationwide by April, aligning with the peak of the spring planting season.

“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, Chief Revenue Officer at Denali.


Walmart Partnership With Denali

Denali collaborates with retailers like Walmart to repurpose unsalable food through its innovative depackaging technology, which separates organic food from packaging. The organic materials are then converted into products such as compost, soil, fertilizer, and renewable energy.

RJ Zanes, Walmart VP of Facility Services, emphasized the significance of the partnership: “The ReCirculate product is a perfect example of Walmart’s circular business models and how we make the most of our resources. 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.”


A Circular Solution for Organic Waste

Denali’s ReCirculate compost supports efforts to fight climate change by diverting organic waste from landfills and returning valuable nutrients to agricultural and horticultural applications. The product can be used for sustainable landscaping, gardens, flower beds, and green spaces, contributing to a fully circular economy.

Eric Speiser highlighted the broader impact of ReCirculate: “ReCirculate will leverage the nutrients in organic food waste to help build sustainable green spaces, landscaping, gardens, and more, all while powering a fully circular economy.”
