A sustainable management solution

Organic Recycling's site near Peterborough offers industries in the region an environmentally sustainable and cost-effective processing facility.

Using innovative technology we can handle a wide range of liquid and solid agricultural, horticultural and vegetable materials, paper and cardboard - recycling them into our eco-friendly range of high quality composts, soil conditioners and mulches.

We are one of the largest sites in the UK and are licensed by the Environment Agency.

Shredded material is carefully composted in open aerobic windrows on a one-hectare concrete pad in accordance with environmental guidelines. Of the materials that we take, less than 2% is redirected to landfill. The balance is processed into screened BettaLand-branded compost products for the landscaping, agricultural and horticultural markets.
