In a somewhat unexpected move, a new coalition has been formed to promote home composting.
Behind the coalition is Trewin Restorick, who said: “The introduction of mandatory food collections is welcome but it’s a waste of time if there is no clear plan from government as to what will happen with the waste collected. Radical systemic change is needed and so is a focus on making better use of our waste at home. Composting our grass and hedge clippings and fruit and veg scraps is a great place to start and it’s an immediate step we can all take to fight climate change and enrich our soil.”
Among signatories are SUEZ, the National Trust, Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), Suez and the Horticultural Trade Association.
