RECYCLED WASTE COMPOSTING
EcoSci not only operates green waste on farm composting systems, but takes in food & green waste to recycle using in - vessel technology. Ecosci recycles the green and food matter to produce an enhanced soil improver using in-vessel technology; an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for recycling organic wastes. Material is sourced from local authorities and private clients, composting ensures that all their green and food waste is recycled in a manner that benefits both the local community.
Ecosci's In-vessel Composting System is able to recycle waste from:
- Household food waste collections
- Co-mingled food and green collections
- HWRC and kerbside green waste
The In -vessel production process takes place in an enclosed reactor, air circulation is metered and temperature is monitored. Continuous operation of the composting process produces minimal leachate and virtually no emissions as well as providing a continuous product supply.
Ecosci's in-vessel site produces West Country Compost Enhanced which is the only PAS 100 Certified ABP compost made in the West Country. West Country Compost Enhanced is a superior high nutrient soil improver produced from local recycled matter. It is PEAT FREE and ideal for use by professional growers and landscapers.
West Country Compost Enhanced is available in a range of grades, loose, straight to your site. Call 01392 441093 to order or receive a FREE sample.

Key benefits of using Ecosci's peat free composts:
- Slow release nutrients - Compost provides nitrogen and phosphate in a slow release form as well as readily available potash. It is also a source of magnesium, sulphur and trace elements.
- Adds valuable organic matter – 30t/ha provides about 6t/ha of organic matter, with many long term benefits to the soil fertility and yielding potential:
- Improved soil structure hence greater workability & increased traffic tolerance
- Improved water holding capacity, particularly in light soils
- Reduced erosion risk
- Reduced nutrient leaching
- Stabilises soil pH
- Going Peat Free is better for the environment as it preserves Peat Bogs and Peatland wildlife such as dragonflies, butterflies and birds which depend on peat for their survival.
- Peat develops very slowly, no more than 1mm in depth per year. A 10 metre deep peat reserve will have taken 10,000 years to develop. So when peat is mined for garden compost it will take 1,000 years to replace every metre that is taken away.
Benefits of West Country Enhanced:
- Improved water retention, workability and reduced copaction as it is a source of organic matter.
- Clean and Oderless
- Superior Nutrient levels mean the West Country Enhanced can be used as a fertiliser, high in potash, Nitrogen and phosphate .
- Compost is a cost-effective means of supplying natural nutrients and providing protection against disease – thus reducing the need for artificial fertiliser and chemical sprays.
- Increased microbial activity of soils, leading to improved cycling of nutrients and health of plants.
- West Country Compost Enhanced is AfOR PAS 100 Quality Certified
- Ideal for Vegetable and Flower Growers, Landscaping, Commercial Nurseries and Turf Establishment & Dressing.
