National Compost Awareness Week

Because we don't think about future generations, they will never forget us. ~Henrik Tikkanen



As part of our ongoing environmental strategy, we are supporting National Compost Awareness Week. We have a Swedish made hot composter for disposing of our food and biodegradable consumables waste, which seems be working well. However we have now decided to expand upon this idea by installing a hot composter, along with its supporting ancilliaries, into one of our prime mover (heavy transport vehicles). This will be ideal for events that last more than one day, meaning food and other degradable waste can be disposed of immediately, instead of either being stored for transport back to our base, or disposed of into landfill.

More details can be found at National Compost Awareness Week.

We have received a number of offers of events from new clients based on our "green" policies, so things seem to be panning out as we wanted with an increase in work helping to offset the money we are spending on things like recycling stations etc.

We are also waiting for a consultation with a bio diesel expert who can hopefully advise us on what we would need to do to switch our generators over to more sustainable fuels. If the switch is possible then we are looking at obtaining a micro biofuel processing system that we have found. Basically you pour waste cooking oil into the bottom of it, add a few chemicals and eight hours later you can pump the fuel straight into your vehicle. WIth the ridiculous cost of fuel it is a system that would probably pay for itself pretty quickly.
