NEWS SOIL sign up for Gore Gore sign up to S.O.S. Soil


The Solid Waste Treatment Team of W.L. Gore & Associates (Gore) signed the Manifesto of the international initiative “S.O.S. SOIL - Save Organics in Soil”. This initiative aims to highlight the importance of soil organic matter to encourage policy makers to develop instruments to move Europe towards implementing sustainable, climate proof soil management practice.


Gore welcomes this initiative, that is led by the European Compost Network (ECN) and the Italian Composting and Biogas Association (Consorzio Italiano Compostatori, CIC) and has not only signed S.O.S. SOIL’s Manifesto to demonstrate support, but also contributes through its GORE® Cover business solutions to the initiative’s goals.


High quality composts play an essential role in maintaining, improving and also recovering soil health and substitute synthetic fertilisers. As a major component of Covered Aerated Static Piles (CASP) Systems, GORE® Cover System Technology enables operators of more than 300 installations in thirty countries around the globe to convert more than 4,5 million tonnes of organic waste into high quality compost, including organic farming grades even.


Seagrave opens


An exciting new chapter in the history of Leicester City began last month, as the Football Club relocated to its brand-new training complex in north Leicestershire.


Following the transition to the site, Seagrave will now become home to the club’s entire men’s professional and Academy football operation for generations to come.


“Our cover product technology is recognised as Best Available Technique under the European Emissions Directive and, through its business, we help make composting a more attractive waste treatment option for communities and private companies. We welcome the initiative of ECN and CIC and contribute not only with our signature but first and foremost through our cover business solutions,” says Thomas Terpetschnig, Product Specialist for GORE® Cover.


To mark the landmark occasion, here are some of the key numbers involved:


7 - buildings in total, including the King Power Centre and Sports Turf Academy


21,593 - the number of new trees and conifers planted across the site, to aid an abundance of natural wildlife


1.5M - litres of water stored on site for irrigation of all pitches, which will be recycled through irrigation lines stretching 9km in total


Ban on bee-harming pesticide lifted


Following lobbying from the National Farmers' Union (NFU) and British Sugar, a product containing the neonicotinoid thiamethoxam was sanctioned for emergency use on sugar beet seeds this year because of the threat posed by a virus.


Conservationists have described the decision as regressive and called for safeguards to prevent the pollution of rivers with rainwater containing the chemical at a time when British insects are in serious decline.


The decision by eleven countries to allow emergency use of the product comes amid a growing awareness of the harmful role played


by refined sugar in the development of long- term health problems.


Matt Shardlow, the chief executive of the invertebrate conservation group Buglife, said it was an “environmentally regressive” decision that would destroy wildflowers and add to an “onslaught” on insects.


“In addition, no action is proposed to prevent the pollution of rivers with insecticides applied to sugar beet,” he said. “Nothing has changed scientifically since the decision to ban neonics from use on sugar beet in 2018. They are still going to harm the environment.”


30 - bedrooms provided for the overnight stays of players and football staff


7,140 - tonnes of grass seed


185,000 - bricks used in the formation of the seven buildings and surrounding structures


200 - televisions installed throughout the centre’s various buildings, including in conference rooms, offices, bedrooms and recreational areas


86,000m2 - seeds planted in 'off pitch'


areas to provide a safe habitat for indigenous wildlife.


The club has said the move to the complex, the former Park Hill Golf course near Seagrave, will boost it on and off-pitch performances.


Trump National stripped of 2022 US PGA Championship


Trump National in Bedminster has been stripped of the US PGA Championship in 2022 as its organisers felt using the course as host would be “detrimental”.


The PGA of America voted to terminate the agreement in January.


Former US President Donald Trump, who owns the course, has been accused by Democrats and some Republicans of encouraging the riot in Congress ahead of the inauguration of the incoming President Joe Biden,


A representative for the Trump Organization said they were “incredibly disappointed” with the decision.


“It has become clear that conducting the PGA Championship at Trump Bedminster would be detrimental to the PGA of America brand and would put at risk the PGA’s ability to deliver our

many programmes and sustain the longevity of our mission,” said PGA of America President Jim Richerson.


“It was a decision made to ensure the PGA of America and PGA professionals can continue to lead and grow our game for decades to come.”


The course in New Jersey, one of seventeen courses around the world owned by Trump, was due to host the major in May 2022.


Another of his properties, Turnberry in Ayrshire, Scotland, has not been selected to host an Open Championship by the R&A since Trump bought the resort in 2014 - with the host venues now finalised up to 2024.


Turnberry’s Ailsa course has hosted The Open on four occasions since it first staged the championship in 1977, most recently in 2009.
