The impact of legislation on waste disposal has created an urgent interest in finding new ways of dealing with a wide variety of substances. Farmers are being offered an intensive composting system which works without forced aeration, agitation or turning. We report on TEG Environmental.

The new money will accelerate the marketing of its self-contained processing plants to farmers, food processors and local authorities.
