Circular Economy
ONE PLANET – Our Planet
Our Natural World is under pressure, our planet is heating up, our oceans are polluted, and the soil on which life depends is being destroyed as a result of the ever-increasing consumption of raw materials. Urgent change is needed and solutions do exist. At Enrich we strive to play our part.
What needs to change – implement a truly circular economy
At Enrich we see the resource value in discarded materials and are committed to building infrastructure and developing new technologies to ensure that these resources are transformed into usable product reducing the demand for virgin materials.
What we do
Save Peat
Peatlands store more carbon than all other vegetation types in the world combined. Damaged peatlands are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Our compost made from recycled garden waste is a peat free alternative.
Projects
Save Soil
The earth’s soil stores more carbon than the atmosphere and plants combined but the degradation of soil has released billions of tonnes of Co2. Effective soil restoration can play a major role in sequestering carbon. Our soil solutions help build healthy soil.

It is manufactured from 100% natural bark, and is ideally suited as a protective layer over beds, borders, and pits. Enrich Fine Bark Mulch suppresses weed development, and helps reduce moisture loss. During manufacturing, Fine Bark Mulch material is milled to reduce particle size, and is subsequently graded to give a consistent particle size of 15mm.
Mini Chip Bark Mulch
Enrich Mini Chip Bark Mulch provides an excellent finish to tree and shrub beds. It is manufactured from 100% natural bark. The final product is mid to dark brown in appearance, and is graded to 30mm to ensure consistency, and to remove any oversize particles.
Topdressing
A high-quality topdressing material, suitable for dressing any sportsturf. For golf courses and playing pitches, it can be used to produce a smooth, free draining turf surface and open soil structure. Application of 70/30 top dressing over fresh seed improves seed to soil contact thereby encouraging germination and aiding healthy seed establishment.
This product is made from a blend of Wexford sports sand and Enrich Organic Compost. Different mixes are available to suit customer requirements.
GREEN ROOF SUBSTRATES
Extensive Green Roof
Extensive Green Roof substrates are light weight and typically used for planting blanket sedum due to its shallow roots and low maintenance needs. Extensive roofs are typically suitable for inaccessible roof spaces. Sedum roofs offer many benefits including rainwater attenuation, and a long-lasting and resilient building skin.
Intensive Green Roof
Intensive roofs are designed to support a wider range of plants, such as grasses, ground covers, flowers, shrubs, and trees, which require a deeper planting depth. These large green areas are widely used on commercial/ large buildings. Intensive green roof soil is a blend of lightweight aggregates, topsoil, compost, and sand. We also offer a super lightweight green roof substrate, please contact us for further details.
Wildflower Soil Mix
The first is a free-draining substrate designed for low nutrient wildflower planting. This is suited to planting projects such as a biodiversity lawn area. Our wildflower soil mix is a blend of screened topsoil, peat-free compost, horticultural grit, and sand.
The second, is a lightweight wildflower roof mix designed specifically for biodiversity roof spaces. It is ideal for creating a local wildlife habitat and enhancing biodiversity in urban spaces.
Urban Soils SuDS
SuDS Soils
Sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) are an increasingly important part of our green infrastructure. SuDS can take many forms, both above and below ground. Certain types of SuDS include planting, others include manufactured products. A functioning system is designed to manage and use rainwater close to where it falls, incorporating vegetation into a building has been shown to be the most effective means of control.
Urban Tree Soil
Urban Tree Soil, also known as Amsterdam soil, is a tailored soil blend designed for tree planting in urban areas, such as green zones and central islands. These areas are often limited in size, have reduced access to adequate topsoil and are surrounded by paving.
Urban Tree Soil offers better drainage and increased stability alongside improved oxygen flow and water to the tree root system. The added organic matter provides all the components necessary for the tree to flourish.
Structural Tree Soil
A structural soil, also referred to as Stockholm Soil, is a stone-based growing medium designed to plant trees under a compacted pedestrian or traffic paving.
Structural Tree Soil can meet engineering standards for supporting pedestrian and vehicular traffic whilst at the same time providing enough soil for a tree to be healthy and reach maturity.
The design encourages roots to grow deep underground without lifting the pavement and is recommended for water attenuation in SuDS systems.
