Land Restoration

When undertaking land restoration projects, there are substantial benefits to be gained from using compost.

BSI PAS 100 compost derived from garden waste can act as a key component in the manufacture of replacement topsoil, as well as being applied to improve general soil quality on site. The role that compost can play in the remediation of contaminated land is also being considered through a number of trials.
