Diarmuid Gavin: The Co Meath company giving organic garden waste new life

At the edge of Dublin’s commuter belt, down a quiet road in Co Meath, something remarkable is happening with the city’s green waste. Every hedge clipping, lawn cutting and pruned branch collected from parks and gardens across the region is being transformed — not dumped, burned or discarded — but reborn as rich, fertile compost. And at the heart of this transformation is Enrich, an Irish company on a mission to turn waste into wealth — for the soil, the environment, and the economy.
