Business NSW, Regional Director – Western NSW, Vicki Seccombe said “This is Topsoil Organics’ third win at the State Business Awards, having won Excellence in Small Business in 2022 and Excellence in Sustainability in 2023.
“Topsoil Organics is such an exciting and dynamic business and they are paving the way for our future. They have gone above and beyond in respect to innovation, sustainability and leadership. The initiatives being pursued demonstrates great ingenuity and it’s so exciting that it’s happening right here in Western NSW,” said Vicki Seccombe.
Topsoil Organics is a family-owned business that launched the Central West Nutrient Return Centre in 2021, diverting 200,000+ tonnes of organic waste from landfills into premium compost for broadacre farming. By transforming waste into energy and regenerative solutions, they are creating lasting environmental, agricultural, and community benefits for a cleaner future.
