Welcome
In 2002 The Composting Research Project (funded by Landfill Tax Scheme monies, distributed by WREN) contracted ENVAR and ADAS to carry out research. The research involves long term field-scale composting trials that will finish in 2009 managed by 'Composting Research Limited'.
This website has been set-up to allow access to all reports and information that will become available as the project progresses.
The trials have been set up to promote the diversion of biodegradable waste from landfill by addressing particular knowledge gaps that may impede the development of a mature biological treatment industry.
The trial results will answer specific questions about the production of compost from both source separated waste only and mixed household waste fines. A key part of the research is replicated field-scale trials to demonstrate the effect of composts on crop growth and all aspects of soil quality – physical, chemical and microbiological.
