This online tool provides guidance to dairies who supply fresh milk in HDPE milk bottles to the UK retailers, in order to help them to maximise the recyclability of the milk bottles they put onto the UK market.

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.

A methodology and associated tool for quantifying the potential impact of re-use, including greenhouse gas emissions, job opportunities or financial impacts. 

The Materials Pricing Report is a free subscription service for buyers and sellers of recovered materials.

The aim of the Materials Pricing Report is to give participants in the market such as local authorities, waste management companies, recyclers, reprocessors and social economy businesses more information about pricing trends and current conditions in the markets for recovered materials. 

This report details the research into a standardised stability test method that is capable of being used to measure compost stability consistently in laboratory conditions and can be used as a standard test throughout the UK and potentially Europe.

Concerns about the potential presence of plant and human or animal pathogens are a major limitation to the increased up-take of composted waste by end-users of high-quality horticultural growing media. 

This report was commissioned to close gaps in understanding of compost and digestate quality, to build confidence amongst potential compost and digestate users, and to identify any specific areas where improvements in quality might be considered desirable.

This research has examined the impacts of AD (anaerobic digestion) on a range of common crop pests and diseases. This project was initiated to confirm and add to published data.

This cost benefit analysis is based on the design stage of a project to construct a new composting facility. The project value is approximately £3.2 million. The study found that there was a total potential saving (net of implementation cost) of 2.2%.

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.
