Environmental

What we have achieved so far:

• All green waste recycled
• Cardboard waste achieving 100% recycling
• Plastic waste achieving 90% recycling
• Carbon Emissions reduced by 1500 tonnes per year compared to previous heating system
• Inkject cartridges recyled
• Introduction of a compost peat reduction policy
• Environmental Policies

Our Goals:

• To commence the growing of our own bio-fuels
• Further Carbon Emission reductions
• Ongoing Peat reduction trials
• Investigation into renuable electricity production
• Reduction in production miles
• Further conservation and habitat projects
• Continue to monitor waste recyling and waste reduction

Bio-Mass Boiler

In Late 2007, the nursery took the plunge and installed a state of the art biomass boiler. The result has seen a 1,500 tonne cut in carbon emissions compared to the previous system. In 2009 a further devolpment to the heating system was installed so that all the nurseries energy requirements are produced within a new energy centre facility, which contains the bio-mass boiler and all of its associated processes.

This second stage of instalation was partically grant funded by East Midlands Devolpment Agency
