WeCare RoofMix

WeCare Roofmix is made from sewage sludge (renamed biosolids) by the company WeCare Organics LLC. Under USDA organic standards, sewage sludge may not be used in organic agriculture. However, companies such as WeCare that market sewage sludge in fertilizer and compost products often claim to be "natural" or "organic." In addition to WeCare Roofmix, WeCare Organics and its subsidiary EarthBlends Inc sell the sludge products EarthBlends Plus™ Pellets, EarthBlends Advantage, and WeCare Compost.
