Since its beginnings in 2005, the plant at Kilberry has become the leading Green Waste Recycling facility in Ireland. This success is in part thanks to the investment of a total of €6.5 million by Bord na Móna since its inception and the company’s focus on research & innovation.
The company operates under an EPS Waste Licence for 96,000 tonnes. This licence details and monitors the conditions under which Bord na Móna must operate and manage the facility. Environmental monitoring parameters also include noise, surface water, ground water, dust and micro-organisms.
Our focus is on generating best in industry compost through a strong R&D programme and independent growing trials. We use this renewable compost to dilute our peat and conserve our scarce resource whilst ultimately making great products with great results. Diluting peat with green waste compost is high on our agenda. It’s our intention to lead the challenge to develop high yield alternatives to peat as growing media in both the retail and the professional markets.
