McGill Environmental Systems (Ireland) Ltd. was established in 1997 and is part of a group of McGill companies that includes two industrial-scale compost manufacturing plants in the U.S.

McGill-Ireland specialises in the composting of non-hazardous industrial sludges and biosolids, waste fruit and vegetables, and other non-hazardous biodegradable materials. McGill will compost any biodegradable material provided it meets regulatory requirements and McGill's own materials acceptance criteria.

THE McGILL PROCESS. McGill's proprietary composting process utilises a controlled static pile, forced aeration system. The process takes place completely indoors, and composting takes place year-round, independent of weather conditions. Incoming materials are mixed with amendments and placed in bays designed to facilitate high-rate, temperature feedback composting.  This state-of-the-art process ensures energy and cost efficiencies, is odourless, and has no negative environmental impacts.  The resulting compost is distributed for use in agriculture, landscaping, forestry, biofuels, and other markets.

THE COMPOSTING INDUSTRY. Composting continues as a growth industry in Ireland. McGill is an indigenous operation and has become a known and trusted brand. It is the market leader in the technology and composting, in general, in Ireland. The business has gained a very strong knowledge of the regulatory environment and has successfully built up excellent relations with the relevant competent authorities.

ACHIEVEMENTS. McGill-Ireland achievements have been recognised by IBEC, who awarded McGill the National Environmental Excellence (Focus on Waste Management) award for 2001.
