Afterlife, a subsidiary of Cogent Waste Solutions, is an innovative urban mushroom farm in Brooklyn, New York, that brings the circular economy to life. By recovering organic waste from local businesses and upcycling it into valuable resources for mushroom cultivation, Afterlife transforms materials that might otherwise be discarded into fresh, locally grown mushrooms.

​

As Cogent continues expanding its organic waste collection services throughout New York City, Afterlife represents an exciting step toward a more sustainable future. By connecting local businesses, resource recovery, and urban agriculture, we’re helping create a system in which organic materials are given new life and valuable products are returned to the communities that helped produce them.
