What is WRAP Doing in My Region?

    Composting

    White Moss Open Day 25/02/05. Composting machinery.WRAP supported White Moss Horticulture in Liverpool with £570,000 of capital support to turn garden waste into composted material. In a pioneering move for the UK horticulture sector, the project has set the trend towards co-location of recycling facilities at the same site as raw material production. This will reduce transport costs and ensure that compost made from garden waste becomes a highly competitive ingredient for growing media.
