Potential Use of Compost

The figures below show the potential benefit of applying Norfolk's green waste compost to land available on the thirteen farms which have shown interest in the Greenleaf project. This assumes that compost would be applied at the lowest rate used in the Greenleaf trials, applied either annually or every third year.

		Total spreadable area: 14224 ha (34900 acres)
		Compost tonnage if applied annually at 25 t/ha (10 t/acre) 355,600
		Compostable waste tonnage required if applied annually 711,200
		Households served if 300 kg of waste / household / year 2,370,666
		Compost tonnage if applied every third year at 25 t/ha (10 t/acre) 118,533
		Compostable waste tonnage required if applied every third year 237,068
		Households served if 300 kg of waste / household / year 790,226
