Container manufacturer Straight has unveiled plans for a £100,000 fund to help local authorities promote home composting.
Intended to be used for leaflets, calendars and other consumer promotional literature, the money is available through a number of regional companies, provided Straight products are offered to local residents.
And Straight has just extended its home composting range by introducing two compost machines with a capacity of 235 and 335 litres.
Available in black or green and with a removable side hatch, the compost machines are moulded from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic and guaranteed for 15 years. Lids twist on and lock into place with a windproof fit.
Straight marketing manager Laura Clamp said: The new compost machines will fit onto the back seat of most cars and are perfect for one-day sales or for collection from garden centres. They represent the very latest in home-composter design and take on board a decade of experience in this sector.
Straight is also adding larger flat-packed bins, wooded composters and worm bins to its range for 2004, as well as a host of new accessories.
