Article Abstract:
Nearly 35 percent of municipal solid waste (MSW) together with a large proportion of industrial or commercial waste would be composted or digested in the near future. The anticipated available material has led to renewed examination of the long-term sustainable markets for waste-derived composts, with European Union (EU) legislation driving the expansion of biowaste treatment.
