Posted On: March 28, 2010

As the need for more sustainable alternatives to landfill continues to grow globally, in vessel composting plays a vital part in meeting national waste objectives.

UK Fish waste composting company VCU Europa’s technology is being used to treat organic waste on more than 30 different sites in seven countries.

The company’s Vertical Composting Unit (VCU) is an in-vessel, aerobic composting system with a small footprint and incredibly low operating costs, states Steve Morris, VCU’s general manager. Systems are proven in municipal and industrial applications ranging from 2500 to 40,000 tonnes per year, he adds.

The VCU was the first system to be fully accredited by the State Veterinary Service (SVS). There are currently 13 VCU installations in the UK and Ireland, with a further 20 worldwide.
