- 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
