Growing a greener tomorrow - Clough Bottom Farm is a finalist in two of the Lancashire Evening Post's first ever Green Awards.
We are delighted to announce that Clough Bottom Farm has been shortlisted in the Lancashire Evening Post's first ever Green Awards in two award categories - 'Best Recycling Project' and 'Green Business of the Year'.
While the businesses that operate from Clough Bottom are varied and diverse, one thing they all have in common is a well defined and measurable environmental framework at their core, and it is great that we have been recognised as a business successfully employing strategies to keep our environmental impact to an absolute minimum.
With a keen interest in recycling and renewable energy, part of the environmental practice at Clough Bottom is the on-going research and implementation of green initiatives, like Harry's bio-diesel processing plant. Harry takes waste cooking oil from local catering premises, cleans and converts it into bio-fuel - a bio-degradeable, non-toxic, non-polluting, more sustainable energy source. All the farm vehicles now run off bio-diesel as well as the farm generator. Harry's plant further helps our business neighbours reduce their waste too - by taking the waste oil, the volume going into landfil sites is also reduced.
We'll let you know how we get on!
