In-vessel Composting

Fulfilling the greatest industry standards and fully BSI PAS 100 and QP certified, our in-vessel composting facility has a full category 3 ABPR (Animal By-Products Regulations) permit. The item is fully accredited by the State Veterinary Service and has been developed under guidance from Remade and WRAPPING.

Kitchen kerbside domestic accumulated organics
Catering waste including meat and fish

Commercial fruit & vegetables
Liquid food waste

The In-vessel Composting Process

Organic waste is shredded and prepared to an appropriate homogenised mix. The materials are loaded into fully enclosed in-vessel bunkers whole with ventilated floors and wireless data logging probes. Each bunker is equipped to send a continuous flow of information back to the central management computer. The air from every bunker is taken out and piped into an all-natural bio-filter, cleansing the air before releasing it into the atmosphere.

Over a span of approximately one week, temperatures of 70oc are achieved and sustained for one hour. This process is managed at all times to comply with ABPR (Animal By-Products Regulations) and ensures the destruction of weed-seeds, pathogens and decomposition in a controlled, managed environment to ensure all EU composting standards are fulfilled.

The item is subsequently moved from the in-vessel composting bunkers to nearby bays where the substance is left to develop. In this period of approximately 6 — 8 weeks of negative aeration, the product is temperature and moisture tracked with a high specification aeration system to produce a stabilised, rich in nutrient, peat-free product. The product is subsequently screened and suitable to be used as a soil improver suitable for agriculture and landscaping.
