Greywater Regulations and Composting:

What You Need to Know

Here at Oklin UK, we're passionate about sustainable living, and that focuses responsible composting. Recently, there have been lots of talks around some changes in regulations regarding greywater use in composting within the UK. Let's break down what this means for you need to know and how Oklin's innovative no greywater composters can help.

Previously, there were no specific regulations around using greywater in composting systems. However, recent updates from governing bodies advise against using greywater due to potential concerns and the presence of harmful chemicals that could impact compost quality and plant health.

While greywater might seem like a readily available resource, it can introduce unwanted elements into your compost. Deters like soap scum, cleaning products, and even food scraps containing grease can negatively impact the composting process. Additionally, some medications and personal care products can be harmful to plants and potentially contaminate the final compost.

Don't worry, composting doesn't have to be a grey area. Oklin's range of no greywater composters provides a simple and effective solution. These innovative systems are designed to optimise the composting process using only brown and green materials, ensuring high-quality, healthy compost for the ground.
