## Resource

A fertiliser company in the Adelaide Hills, Neutrog, has been slapped with a $35,000 fine after a court found them guilty of intentionally polluting and causing a horrific “rotting flesh” smell that ruined residents’ lives for years. Hundreds of complaints led to the ruling, which emphasized that even unpleasant odours are serious disruptions to daily living. While Neutrog won’t appeal this fine, they’re still fighting over their operating license and defending a past project aimed at helping the Foodbank. They argue their work supports the circular economy and claim they’ve made changes to reduce odour — but the court’s message is clear: businesses can’t ignore the impact on nearby communities.
