Woodbridge, N.J.-A small fire broke out April 27 at Converted Organics’ Woodbridge manufacturing facility when a piece of equipment related to the drying process of organic fertilizer malfunctioned. The company said no one was injured, and the building was immediately evacuated and the fire department called. There was no indication of the extent of the damage or if it will have any impact on production. The fire was easily contained and extinguished. Converted Organics, which produces fertilizer from food wastes, is currently working with an engineer from the equipment manufacturer to assess the extent of damage to the equipment, and will commence repairs as soon as possible. Operations have resumed throughout the rest of the plant.
