Using PAS100 compost in Landscape Restoration is a win-win situation because as PAS100 compost is made from waste materials, and directly allows that organic material to be diverted away from landfill (that’s win no. 1), and the Council’s which produce the compost (albeit often through composting contractors paid through the public purse (that’s your rates!)) get cash for their PAS100 Compost in Landscape Restoration.

Speakers at the workshop included Paul Mathers, Managing Director of Terra Resource Investment; Lance Jones from WRAP Cymru; and Tony Heaney, Restoration Manager at Welsh Slate. All speakers discussed the benefits of using quality compost and how the material should be applied to ensure good results.

Organics Project Manager Lance Jones, who has been working with Welsh Slate and other extraction companies across Wales to restore quarry sites, said: “Topsoil is in scarce supply, and restoring land used for mineral extraction is often expensive and difficult, carrying a number of risks.
