Posted: 31 July, 2014. Written by Justyna

REAL, in conjunction with the REA’s Organics Recycling Group is running workshops focused on the basics of composting and the basic requirements of PAS 100 and the REAL Compost Certification Scheme. There is a site visit to a PAS100 certified composting site included as part of the day.

The course will include an introduction to the composting process (covering feedstocks, processing, composting techniques, process controls) alongside an introduction to PAS100 (the principles, quality management systems and how the certification scheme works) as well as a practical, site-based session that will give delegates some useful background knowledge. 

Organics recycling professionals can log in to the REA website to book tickets for the first workshop, which will take place at the CCS-certified Hollybush Nurseries in Wolverhampton on 21st October.
