Women and food-centric interventions through the NATURE+ Initiative aim to increase the resilience of rural women. This years’ International Day of Rural Women puts a spotlight on, “Rural Women Cultivating Good Food for All.” The CGIAR Initiative on Nature-Positive Solutions (NATURE+) aims to re-imagine, co-create and implement nature-positive, solutions-based agri-food systems ...
In the pursuit of sustainable biomass management, two distinctive approaches have garnered attention: biochar production and composting. Both methods seek to convert organic matter into valuable resources, but they differ significantly in their mechanisms and outcomes. This article delves into the world of biochar production and composting, exploring the advantages of choosing biochar production ...
Tianjin is a major port city in northern coastal China and one of China’s most populated cities. The City of Tianjin selected BacTee’s parent company, MTI, to design and construct a new composting facility. The Tianjin Zhengguizhung Composting facility is the first to combine the BDP Industries agitated bay technologies with the BacTee Systems negative aeration system. Negative ...
The animal farm produces a lot of animal excrement and related waste every day, which is also a great fortune. It is a reliable and economic method to ferment farm manure compost into organic fertilizer by using organic fertilizer production equipment. Composting and fermentation of farm manure The fresh animal excrement is mixed with wheat bran or rice bran according to the proportion, and the ...
In order to use crop straw to produce and process organic fertilizer, the scale of design should be determined according to the yield of straw after crop harvesting and fertilizer requirements, and the total amount of crop straw that can be collected. Straw organic fertilizer production technology and characteristics: Modern composting is an improved process ...
About the Project The Regional composting facilities for organics, food and yard waste are located at the Peel Integrated Waste Management Facility and the Caledon Public Waste and Recycling Depot. The program does not replace backyard composting, but enhances it by allowing residents to compost materials that can’t be put in their backyard composter. Currently 9,000 tonnes/year ...

The Challenge Seated approximately 30 miles southwest of Bakersfield, California, the South Kern Compost Manufacturing Facility (SKCMF) was commissioned in 2006 to alleviate concerns about long-term viability of land application of Class B biosolids in Southern California, and address air quality issues of previous traditional composting processes. The Solution As the country’s most ...
Illustrated explanation of two broad stages that are usually applied in most composting facility. First, composting process that convert raw compost into mature compost. Second, organic fertilizers production that convert mature compost into granulated fertilizers. Feedstock for composting stage can be farm and animal husbandry wastes, biomass from plants, and biodegradables that have been ...
Needham Market, Suffolk In terms of tonnage, Greenview is the UK’s largest independent processor of organic material. Established in 1985, the firm now operates from 6 sites around the country and processes over 300,000 tonnes of organic waste each year. The high-quality compost produced goes on to be used for horticultural and agricultural purposes as a soil improver. CompostManager has ...
The use of St Marys Paper biosolids as a soil additive or growth cover was investigated. Biosolids were mixed with a commercial potting media in five vol/vol ratios and employed in a greenhouse study. The biosolids were found to improve Pinus banksiana seedling growth, a 50% biosolids:50% ProMix mixture yielding the tallest plants and highest dry mass. To further biologically stabilise the ...
A team of representatives from Carson City-based Ecologico Logic Inc. brought a prototype of their machine from their Southern California offices to South Tahoe Refuse this week to demonstrate how organic waste can be turned into compost in a matter of hours. More than two dozen cans of pine needles and wood products were dumped into a funnel of ...
Natural ventilated and aerated composting units were developed for household, fresh market and restaurant wastes. Household wastes required 8-10 weeks of composting period. The final compost product contained N : P : K content higher than organic compost standard. In aerated unit, the composting period was 30-40 days. Economical analysis suggested Benefit-Cost (B/C) ratio and Economical Internal ...
A big part of the opposition to agricultural use of biosolids has been based upon the appearance and the odour of the product. In this study, five plants using the Cambi Thermal Hydrolysis Process (THP) have been investigated. ...
Waste that reflected the average UK composition of household waste was treated by autoclaving at the three set pressure/temperature levels of 2.7 bar/130 °C, 6.2 bar/160 °C and 15.5 bar/200 °C. The biodegradable fraction of the autoclaved household waste ('floc') was manually separated by screening and underwent characterization for its Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg, Ni, and Zn content. Autoclaving did not ...
The attenuation potential of methane (CH4) and of selected volatile organic compounds (VOCs) was compared in four types of compost materials using dynamic flow column experiments over a period of 255 d. Garden waste compost mixed with wood chips showed the highest steady-state CH4 oxidation rate (161 g m–2 d–1), followed by a commercial compost product Supermuld (110 g m–2 d–1). In the column ...
Compost making is a method of recycling whereby organic waste is broken down to organic soil with the help of oxygen demanding microorganisms. There are different ways of making compost. Some require more labour and an exact procedure has to be followed; others neglect the precise procedure, which has advantages and disadvantages. Organic material, including toilet waste, can also be recovered to ...
The aluminosilicate matrix and humus form the soil micelle the primary unit of any soil complex. Humus formation is a process based on carbonnitrogen interaction. Sources of carbon can be materials rich in easily composted products like cellulose and polyphenols (plant leaves) or aged lignin polymers (saw dust from different woody plants). ...
Standards should be based on the quality of compost products. Standards should be based on a risk assessment of the hazards present in the compost in relation to its intended use. This risk assessment should be based on the source-pathway-receptor model. Lower quality compost ...

The treatment of biological waste, and composting in particular, has received a great boost in recent years since the introduction of source separation for biological waste in the 1980s. At the same time, legal regulations and guidelines for the construction of composting plants, production and trading of compost products were expanded. At present, about 6.5 million tonnes of biological waste is ...
