If you’re interested in collecting cartons from households for recycling, this guide can help you weigh up your options.

The Sustainable Clothing Guide is a practical guide to help brands and retailers to enhance the durability and quality of the clothing they produce.

These guidelines have been written to help composters who want to supply the horticultural growing media market meet the quality standards required by this sector. 

WRAP's Market Snapshot provides an overview of recent developments in recovered material markets.

This report can provide you with an essential insight into and market intelligence from the recycling sector.

‘PAS110’ was developed by WRAP to help create a market for the use of anaerobic digestate as a renewable fertiliser.

WRAP is working with retailers and manufacturers, logistics and redistribution organisations, together with industry bodies, to identify ways of increasing the beneficial use of surplus food.

Preventing food waste is a key priority for the food & drink sector, governments and individuals.  Preventing food waste at source should always come first, but surpluses can arise for a number of reasons; for example, food incorrectly labelled, over-ordered, over-supplied or obsolete seasonal stock.

IVCs can be used to treat food and garden waste mixtures. These systems ensure that composting takes place in an enclosed environment, with accurate temperature control and monitoring.

Windrow composting is used for processing garden waste, such as grass cuttings, pruning and leaves in either an open air environment or within large covered areas where the material can break down in the presence of oxygen.

Anaerobic digestion processing systems operate in different ways. For example, material may be fed into a reactor in distinct batches, or in a continuous flow.

This guide provides practical advice to compost producers about the production of quality composts that are consistently fit for purpose as growing media constituents. It also aims to inform growing media manufacturers and growers about quality composts and how they can be used in growing media.

Guidance for farmers, growers, advisers and agricultural contractors on how to maximise the benefits of using digestate and compost as renewable fertilisers.
