The Daily Echo visited Eco Sustainable Solutions to hear the company’s case for the new facility.
What is Eco Sustainable Solutions? Eco was formed in 1993 by managing director Trelawney Dampney. A friend had told him about a visit to Germany where ha had seen garden waste collected and turned into compost. Mr Dampney’s own was founded to do the same thing, composting garden waste from around Dorset and selling it to local landscapers. Some of those original customers are still with the business today. Today, Eco supplies compost, soils and turf, as well as mulches, barks and playground surfaces. It composted its one millionth tonne last year.
