Aim

Our aim is to stop millions of tonnes leaves going to landfill each year by recycling them into heat logs to generate green energy.

Our aim is to stop millions of tonnes leaves going to landfill each year by recycling them into heat logs to generate green energy.

Each year nature provides us with millions of tonnes of naturally fallen leaves globally. In Britain around 5,000,000 t of leaves is collected each year of which some go to composting but the majority ends up in landfill as councils across the UK struggles to find a useful and cost-effective way of clearing and dealing with the leaf waste.

Leaf Log (tm) is a biomass solid fuel made from naturally fallen leaves each unit weighs approximately 1.2 kg will burn for up to 3 hours and contains a calorific value of 28,000 kJ per kilogram. Leaf Log can be used in open fires, wood burning & multifuel stoves and commercial biomass boilers.

Peter Morrison twice awarded British inventor of the year has created and commercialised a unique environmentally friendly and sustainable product made from naturally fallen leaves. 

Following extensive testing by N power andHargreaves plc the product was sold through B&Q, Netto, Hargreaves and JD Wetherspoon's.
