New Earth Solutions (UK) has recently opened its new biological treatment facility at Blaise Farm Quarry in Kent.
Designed to process up to 50,000 tonnes a year the facility will provide a local solution for source separated green and kitchen waste from southwest Kent households.
The facility has been contracted by Kent County Council in order to support segregated collections schemes for organic waste operated by both Tonbridge and Malling and Tunbridge Wells Borough Councils. The contract period is for a minimum of 15 years with the option for a further 5 year extension.
Peter Gillatt, New Earth Solutions Managing Director said, “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Kent County Council and to be processing local residents
waste within close proximity to its place of origin and thus reducing road miles and carbon footprint.
The new facility will produce a range of high quality composts that will be widely utilised across agriculture, land remediation and regeneration activities in the Kent region”.
According to Operations Manager for Waste Management at Kent County Council, “We have been able to improve our waste and recycling services for residents at both point of collection and in terms of final elimination as a result of New Earth Solutions technology and expertise.
