Envar Compositing is one of the UK’s largest producers of quality certified soil conditioners, processing 300,000 tonnes of organic waste from municipal and commercial collections at its site in Cambridgeshire. They’re a progressive, forward-thinking company which led them to commit to the introduction of Dry Anaerobic Digestion (Dry AD) technology to increase efficiency.

Brand new to the UK, Dry AD accelerates the processes, increases capacity and introduces the opportunity to treat new waste streams – in Envar’s case, clinical waste.

Plans drawn up and a £25m investment ready to go. Just one thing stands in their way. Local people.

Turning to Mobius to help, we developed a programme of public consultation communications comprising an information pack, website, online survey and overview video. Distribution was meticulously planned to coincide with key public meetings and PR.

Key to the approach was addressing known concerns head-on; odours, aesthetics,  and disruption from construction.

The response was magnificent generating widespread support for the plans from local people enabling Envar to progress to the next stages of development.
