The Silo Cage system, one of the few technologies in Europe capable of treatingthis waste, is a natural process producing compost as an end product. UnderTEG's EnVigroTM brand, this is used as an excellent soil conditioner thatfertilises, retains moisture, provides structure and reduces the incidence ofplant disease. TEG's Silo Cages are housed in self-contained buildings, are not unsightly andare environmentally friendly. Plant economics are driven by the gate feescharged, rather than the value of the end product (compost). The TEG process isan economic alternative to landfill. Potential customers include local authorities, waste management companies, foodprocessors, farmers and landowners. The Company's expanding market is driven byincreasingly stringent EU and UK legislation regulating the treatment anddisposal of organic waste.
