Anaerobic Digestate Resource Framework
The Anaerobic Digestate Resource Framework (ADRF) sets out the end-of-waste criteria for the production, storage, and use of quality outputs from anaerobic digestion of source-segregated biodegradable waste in England.
Operators producing digestate for use in England as a ‘product’ must comply with the ADRF to ensure their material meets the required standards for safe and sustainable use.
