True.
Organic "food waste" (nitrogen-rich greens) plus "carbon" materials (brown leaves, paper, wood chips) can be biologically processed into compost — a soil-like product — by microbes (or worms) in home or industrial systems. Methods include backyard composting, vermicomposting, anaerobic digestion, and thermal conversion to biochar (stable soil carbon).
Quick tips: mix greens and browns ≈ 25–30:1 C:N, keep moist but not soggy, aerate/turn regularly, and avoid adding meat/fats unless using industrial composting. If you meant converting atmospheric CO2 rather than solid carbon wastes, that’s possible too but needs different technologies (biochar, carbon capture + storage, etc.).
