Closing date: 10/10/2008
WRAP is seeking partners in the UK to work on projects which intend to explore the cost effective use of quality composts in landscape and regeneration applications throughout the UK.
Tenders are invited around a number of key areas:
- Impacts of compost amendment and compost blankets on soil geotechnical properties (slope stability) and erosion control;
- Using food-derived composts to grow biofuels on previously developed land;
- Using green composts in landscaping solutions which manage water flows in developed environments (including rain gardens, green roofs, and bioswales);
- Innovative uses for composts, such as soil manufacture with food-derived composts or use of compost socks to attenuate pollution in surface water flows;
- WRAP will also consider other innovative ideas for the cost effective use of quality composts in landscape and regeneration.
Projects should identify barriers to compost use in these sectors and seek to overcome these by examining the technical, environmental and financial aspects of compost used for these purposes.
