FGS Organics can apply different types of paper-based product to land throughout the South East of England. Produced at paper mills in Kent, these materials are by-products of the paper recycling process.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Paper sludge and paper crumble spreading for the farming community is a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly alternative to artificial fertilisers, providing a sustainable solution to reinforce soil structure and stability, with the potential for an increased crop yield and microbial activity. The paper crumble is mechanically processed and the paper sludge is biologically treated, both are produced by the Paper Industry, which has been generated mainly from wood-based fibres with a variance in moisture content.<\/p>\n

Within the agriculture sector, paper mill sludge and paper crumble are beneficial in enriching the soil with vital organic matter. The improvement in soil texture and moisture retention results in a greater resilience to erosion and drought as well as increasing infiltration rates. The valuable source of carbon and other major nutrients present in recycled paper residue assist in the recovery of degraded soil. Calcium carbonate for example, has added value in neutralising and stabilising soils with a high acidic content.<\/p>\n

FGS Organics supply and land spread a multitude of materials to the agricultural industry, with a wealth of experience in ensuring the whole operation is carried out in compliance with best practice standards. The paper sludge and paper crumble supplies are sourced locally from Kent paper mills and the demand for this organic fertiliser has grown significantly in recent years. Although paper waste was historically sent to landfill sites or incinerated, increased awareness of the detrimental impact on the environment has resulted in a considerable shift in favour of alternative eco-friendly methods of use. Land spreading with processed paper waste as an organic fertiliser is a win-win solution, with agronomic benefits for farmers, ecosystem stability and higher quality products in the food chain.<\/p>\n
