Most of the by-products handled by 4Recycling will be recycled on land for agricultural use or for the manufacture of soils in land restoration. Before any by-product is recycled to land it is subjected to thorough technical scrutiny by our government trained soil scientists. This process can involve chemical and biological tests, plant growth trials, leaching tests and field experiments to prove that the by-products confer agricultural benefit.

What can we recycle?

When it comes to recycling by-products to agricultural land or using these materials to manufacture soils for the restoration of derelict land, 4Recycling with over 100 years of experience in this field will probably have done it before.

Examples of by-products recycled

Biosolids (sewage sludge), Water Treatment Sludges, Wood Waste, Food & Drink Residues, Lime, Gypsum, Textiles, Animal by-products, Green Waste, Ash, Paper Crumble, Dredgings and Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) residues.
