Land Treatment
Land treatment is the application of sludge or liquid waste, predominantly from the food industry, onto agricultural land. This type of waste acts as an alternative to artificial fertilisers providing a benefit to agriculture. Sludges and liquid wastes can be a valuable source of plant and crop nutrients and at Shanks we recognise the importance and need to recycle and reuse these products. By working in partnership with a network of local farmers, we can ensure that this valuable source of nutrients is used effectively, helping to reduce the use of artificial fertilisers to land and providing a benefit to the environment.
