Capabilities
The start of this recycling process involves detailed chemical analysis of the waste product. Technically competent staff interpret the analysis results and if required, they carry out plant growth trails to ensure the material is suitable for agricultural recycling. Once approved, we carry out the following service- a true one stop shop:
- Collect and transport (including the provision of appropriate skips, wagons, trailers, tankers etc)
- Identification of appropriate land bank
- Soil sampling and analysis along with production of a field pollution risk assessment
- Registration of appropriate exemption with the Environment Agency
- Tailoring crop nutrient requirements through application rate and soil fertility
- Provision of spreading equipment tankers, umbilical units, shallow injectors, irrigators, rear & side discharge spreaders
- Post application checks (PAC's)
Demonstration of “agricultural benefit” from the land application of a variety of wastes represents a true “win-win” situation for all involved. The waste producer benefits form adopting a lower cost recycling operation and the farmer receives detailed soil analysis, compliance with Nitrate Vulnerable Zone directive plus a source of major plant nutrients which reduce fertilizer costs improves crop performance and the addition of organic matter. The table below documents the UK Waste Types that are ‘exempt’ from Waste Management Licensing. The wastes documented below can be spread on agricultural land without pre-treatment.

Anaerobic Digestion (AD)
The UK Biomass Strategy, produced in May 2007 documents the Government’s stance on the UK’s implementation of AD. The Government has made it clear that one of its main objectives is to “work with stakeholders in an attempt to drive faster growth in the use of AD technology by local authorities, businesses and farmers”.
The strategy intends to stimulate and develop the markets for anaerobic digestion and its products, and to address the administrative and technical challenges which may hamper its development. Following on from this strategy, the Governments Response in the DBERR (Department for Business Enterprise & Regulatory Reform) Renewables Obligation Consultation January 2008, confirms that AD should not receive less than two ROC’s per MWh as AD has particular benefits in mitigating methane emissions from agriculture. The government therefore proposes to retain the 2 ROC band, but to closely examine the support that this technology requires during the first review in 2013. Being aware of such external factors helps us to fully understand this rapidly evolving market place.
Transfer Stations
BiProduct Recovery will licence appropriate sites as Waste Transfer Stations where wastes can be treated, bulked up and in some cases mixed. Our ownership and operation of such facilities will allow material to be diverted from landfill, will reduce carbon footprints and will add value to waste streams for the benefit of the waste producer.
Mobile Plant License
BiProduct Recovery will be able to provide Mobile Plant Licences allowing waste treatment operations to be carried out both on and off site. The lime stabilisation of raw sewage sludge off site is one example if the flexibility this licence can provide.
In Vessel Composting (IVC)
The provision of regionally based IVC facilities to treat both catering waste and Category 3 animal by-products completes our waste treatment capability. BiProduct Recovery provides a wide range of different treatment options to suit our client needs.
BiProduct Recovery provide a highly regarded consultancy service to aid waste producers, contractors and other associated parties with the implementation of new environmental legislation. From the provision of detailed Environment Agency Pre-Notification reports (Including Paragraph 7, 9, 12, 15 exemptions) to Waste Analysis and Interpretation, BiProduct Recovery provide fully qualified staff to guarantee results.
BiProduct Recovery Ltd are currently looking to invest in infrastructure waste technologies to establish a national network of merchant treatment facilities to include Waste Transfer Stations, AD facilities, In-Vessel Composting sites and short term storage facilities. If you are interested in working alongside us on this initiative, please contact info@biproductrecovery.co.uk
