The UK's water and environment body is calling for more quality control on
compost. The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management
(CIWEM) believes that with recycling and landfill increasingly on the agenda
there needs to be clearer regulatory footing.
Modern composting facilities can minimise emissions to air and reduce any
health impacts from bio-aerosols, according to CIWEM, which wants more
guidance from UK and EU government.
Nick Reeves, CIWEM's Executive Director said: "We support the efforts of
both Government and the commercial sector to develop and implement quality
controls and urge the Government to set increasingly challenging recycling
and landfill diversion targets to increase rates of recovery and recycling."
