The Biofertiliser Certification Scheme provides assurance to consumers, farmers, food producers and retailers that biofertiliser is safe and of good quality. Biofertiliser is the name adopted within the BCS for quality digestate which is the by-product of the biogas industry which uses anaerobic digestion to break down organic material to produce energy. The PAS 110 was sponsored by The Waste Resources Action Programme (WRAP) and developed in collaboration with the Renewable Energy Association (REA), the Composting Association and the British Standards Institute (BSI).
The Quality Digestate Protocol has been developed by the Business Resource Efficiency and Waste Programme (BREW), the Waste Resources Action Programme (WRAP) and the Environment Agency (EA). It is applicable in England and Wales and sets out the criteria for the production of quality digested materials through anaerobic digestion of source separated biodegradable waste and materials.
