Eco operate a fully licensed EU Category 3 Invessel Composting facility, allowing us to process cooked and uncooked meat and foodstuffs from source separated and commercial sources. The material is first of all shredded through a 12mm screen and then put in to sealed units (clamps), where it is left for 10 - 12 days to heat up to a minimum of 70c for at least 1 hour to sterilise. The temperatures are automatically monitored and recorded during this period. Once the batch has reached the required standard and is sampled and analysed, it is moved outside for maturation for a further 12 - 14 weeks. After this, the nutrient rich compost is screened (with any plastic residue separated) and used on our turf fields to replenish the soil harvested during the turf process, thereby allowing us to grow sustainable and nutrient rich turf.
