Meerlanden thanks residents
Meerlanden thanks you for separating your GFT-e. High-quality GFT-e allows us to produce compost of excellent quality. This benefits the soil and helps plants grow naturally. From garden waste, we create six products:
- Green gas – fuel for our vehicles
- CO₂ – plant growth enhancer
- Heat – for greenhouse horticulture
- Compost – soil improver
- Water – for street cleaning, weed control, and gritting vehicles
- Citrus fuel – sustainable weed control
Important: Mix compost with soil
Compost is an additive to the soil. Always mix compost with (garden) soil, as plants do not grow well in pure compost.
