CLOs & Mixed Waste Digestates

Using mixed waste digestates to kickstart sustainable soil formation

Our experts safely recycle mixed digestates and CLOs, providing traceability and regulator-approved land outlets.

CLOs (Compost-Like Outputs) and mixed waste digestates are fantastic and sustainable sources of organic matter and slow-release plant nutrients. These materials are used mainly for land restoration schemes, to help kickstart the formation of soils in areas which have had their natural soils depleted or removed through mineral extraction (e.g. quarries, mines, spoil tips, landfills). The addition of organic matter helps support initial plant growth which in turn stabilises the manufactured soil profile as it develops over time.

 

4R Group has been at the heart of CLO and mixed waste digestate since these materials started being produced around 20 years ago. We have staff who have worked in CLO production and in CLO academic research, and we can help producers meet the specifications required for a variety of end uses.

 

We remain one of the last few operators who operate a land restoration mobile plant permit, and we operate restoration sites that can take these materials.
