Our experience

Some of the most recent projects are:

Technical consultancy and product development, for example:

Review of bioremediation projects for National Grid
Sustainability appraisal of charcoal based land remediation for C-CURE
Appraisal of remediation and waste management technologies and, process development and project development (various clients),
Compost / soil improver standards and audit development (various clients);
Composting trials work and compost formulation advice (e.g. for the Eden Project);
Composting guidance (e.g. the Compost Bibliography Project -Phase 1 for Sita Environmental Trust, and a book on home composting)
Review of possible diffuse pollution issues for compost use (for WRAP)

Feasibility studies, for example:

The Markham Willows project (linkage of biomass, remediation / risk management, compost re-use and land regeneration with job creation and economic and social regeneration) with exSite Research Limited, Groundwork UK and others,
Feasibility study for the UK CL:AIRE network (www.claire.co.uk). CLAIRE is the the UK demonstration network for contaminated sites, established in 1999.

Research and development, for example:

Taking Nanotechnological Remediation Processes from Lab Scale to End User Applications for the Restoration of a Clean Environment. (www.nanrorem.eu)
Holistic Management of Brownfield REgeneration (HOMBRE)
The use of biomass and compost for marginal land restoration (Environment Agency and Defra, EU SNOWMAN project) www.rejuvenate.eugris.info
