Products and Markets

“Glass, metal and other recyclable materials are automatically extracted”.

Parc takes in un-segregated municipal waste and produces the following valuable commodities:

Soil Conditioner
The primary product of the process is a brown, fibrous compost predominantly consisting of organic matter. After processing, it is polished in windrows for 6 weeks.

ParcGro
The Compost produced by Parc is used as a component in the manufacture of a topsoil product called ParcGro. ParcGro conforms to BS3882 topsoil standards and meets CLEA and Dutch soil contamination standards for agricultural use, but Premier use it exclusively, in line with Waste Management Exemptions in brown-field site restoration. The particular application that Premier is focussing on in the north east is in the development of Short Rotation Willow Coppicing on former colliery and landfill sites. Premier has already established contracted long term markets in this sector for compost outputs of around 400,000 tonnes per annum mainly related to renewable energy crops.

Ferrous Metals
These outputs are returned for smelting

Non Ferrous Metals
Mainly consisting of aluminium, brass, copper and zinc. These are sold into our established metal recycling markets.

Glass
The glass fraction is sent for re-processing at Premier’s aggregates recycling facility.

Light Plastics
This stream is sent for further refinement and baling before being sold into extrusion markets. It is currently being made into plastic planking and boarding.
