From trash to treasure

We can all make a huge environmental impact by turning green and food waste into our most valuable resource: compost. This simple process helps to reduce waste, enrich the soil and tackle climate change.

Our plan

Our goal is to inspire positive action by helping organisations take simple steps, and by sharing real-life success stories.

We’re also all about collaboration, and addressing the legal changes we need to make our circular economy a reality.

Our mission

Enrich the Earth is on a mission to convert 1 million tonnes of green and food waste annually into valuable, nutrient-rich compost. This will help us to reduce the use of peat before the Government ban comes into place - because why not get started early?

  • Composting is a great way to empower gardeners to take climate positive actions to help tackle the climate crisis.

  • The RHS is excited to be part of this project which aims to help towards reversing the climate and biodiversity crises.

  • With climate change putting pressure on plant health, it is more important than ever for us all to enrich soils and mulch newly planted trees and other plants to conserve moisture.
