OVERVIEW
Water utilities generate biosolids as part of sewage treatment. These can be a valuable fertiliser resource when managed correctly. For this regional water utility, long-term outlet security and compliance were essential to both environmental obligations and operational efficiency.
THE CHALLENGE
- 50,000 tonnes of biosolids requiring consistent annual recycling.
- Need to maintain high compliance standards under strict regulation.
- Balancing disposal costs with sustainability targets.
-
Requirement for full traceability to satisfy regulators and stakeholders.
THE OUTCOMES
- £1.2m saved annually compared to landfill/incineration.
- Year-round outlet security ensured no stockpiling or downtime.
- Enhanced sustainability reporting through closed-loop recycling back into agriculture.
- Stronger relationships with local farming communities.
