They have found that paper crumble has the potential to enrich soil, improve water retention and increase nutrients which benefits the health of the soil and crops overall. Their report also states that paper crumble can be used as a tool to store carbon in arable soils. By increasing the soil&#8217;s organic carbon, paper crumble can rejuvenate soil.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>View the case study by clicking the link below and find out how paper crumble can provide benefits to the soil.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eira.ac.uk\/case-study\/the-use-of-paper-crumble-for-soil-enhancement-and-carbon-storage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/eira.ac.uk\/case-study\/the-use-of-paper-crumble-for-soil-enhancement-and-carbon-storage\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also, visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fgsorganics.co.uk\/paper-sludge-supply-and-spreading\/\">paper sludge<\/a> page to find out about the paper sludge and paper crumble we can supply.\u00a0 Call us today on 01233 820055[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] EIRA (Enabling Innovation: Research to Application), an innovation and research organisation, has produced an interesting case study about the use of paper crumble for soil enhancement and carbon storage.
