Vital Earth Ltd is the largest and most advanced in-vessel composting site in the UK. The raw materials for the compost products are green & kitchen waste from kerbside collections and household waste and recycling centres (HWRC’s) in Derbyshire and Staffordshire. Together with a sister site near Market Drayton Vital Earth can process over 70,000 tonnes of material otherwise destined for landfill sites.
Despite two recent fires at the site, which made for a highly controversial planning application, PDP was able to win consent for the erection of a large extension to the site’s Waste Reception Building. The development will allow Vital Earth Ltd to streamline on-site activities and processes, thus reducing the chances of future incidents. Derbyshire County Council’s planning committee voted unanimously in favour of the scheme on the 9th March 2009 and planning consent was granted.
