Paper sludge supply and spreading services provided by FGS Organics.
We can apply different types of paper based product to land in South East England. Produced at paper mills in Kent, these materials are by-products of the paper recycling process.
Paper sludge is a cost-effective alternative to artificial fertilisers, providing a sustainable solution to enhance soil health and productivity.
Farmers use paper sludge to help add organic matter and structure back into their soil. It can aid moisture retention and is a good source of major nutrients.
