Urk use of substrate

Use of local organic wastestreams in urban areas

This pilot is carried out in Flevoland (showcase 10b en 10c). The city of Urk is expanding and preparing two new city parts; the port of Urk and the 'Zeeheldenbuurt'. Before construction of buildings and streets, a peat clay substrate is removed. The partners in the local Network, Orgapower, LelyCycle and the city of Urk are enthouaisatic about the peat clay substrate which comes available. A local network is formed and the development of an Urker substrate has started. For the end product, used again for planting in the city, a combination of autumn leaves, biobin compost and the peat-clay is made.
