Ace of Herts gets certified! It took months of work but finaly Ace of Herts is certified by the Composting Association.

The benefits of an accredited compost
Quality Assured Local authorities can be sure that contractors working to TCA Accreditation Scheme requirements are operating an independently verified quality assured manufacturing process, and represent a secure and low risk outlet for collected waste. Safe and Consistent Specification of the input materials that can be used for accredited compost and minimum sanitization, stabilisation, sampling and storage criteria means the end products always achieve tight quality requirements. Traceable TCA accredited composts are easily identifiable and can be traced right back to the source of biodegradable materials used to make the product. This reduces any potential product liabilities. High Performance Compost is a natural slow release fertiliser and its use provides benefits including increased plant strength and development, reduced wastage, reduced erosion, reduced watering requirements and easier application and maintenance. Sustainable TCA accredited composts demonstrate leadership in sustainable waste management and help local authorities to close the loop on wasted production and resource usage.
