Synopsis
Statutory waste diversion and recycling/composting targets in the UK are driving the collection and composting of an increasingly diverse range of biodegradable materials, including household kitchen waste. The nature of this and similar waste types and how they are collected have large implications on the environmental risks associated with composting and the quality of compost products. Moreover, legislation such as the Animal By-products Order (ABPO) is placing strict requirements on composting operations handling these wastes (e.g. processing temperatures and the physical containment and handling of materials). There exists a growing need for the independent evaluation, comparison and development of a range of enclosed composting options that are suited to meeting these new needs. This paper presents the findings of a number of research projects in the UK, exploring the efficacy of a number composting technologies and operations in meeting the ABPO, collection systems, and compost quality and marketing issues.
