Product Quality Survey

A cross-industry working group is delivering continuous improvement in the quality of compost and digestate products. We are seeking feedback from digestate and compost users and their advisers on how well suppliers are meeting your expectations.

The survey is very short and all information provided will be anonymous - it will not be possible to link responses to any individual or organisation.

The anonymous results will be used to provide feedback to the compost and anaerobic digestion industries and to target practical action to make sure products are fit for purpose.
