Editor's Notes:
TEG Environmental provides an in-vessel composting system, which is one of the
few approved technologies capable of treating animal by-product waste.
The Silo Cage system, one of the few technologies in Europe capable of treating
this waste, is a natural process producing compost as an end product. Under
TEG's EnVigroTM brand, this is used as an excellent soil conditioner that
fertilises, retains moisture, provides structure and reduces the incidence of
plant disease.
TEG's Silo Cages are housed in self-contained buildings, are not unsightly and
are environmentally friendly. Plant economics are driven by the gate fees
charged, rather than the value of the end product (compost). The TEG process is
an economic alternative to landfill.
Potential customers include local authorities, waste management companies, food
processors, farmers and landowners. The Company's expanding market is driven by
increasingly stringent EU and UK legislation regulating the treatment and
disposal of organic waste.
