Article Abstract:

Composters in Ontario, Canada, have focused attention on recycling packaging wastes such as corrugated cardboard and organic waste by-products to attain good soil amendments and potting mixes for use in the agricultural sector. Recycling of such packaging materials has emerged as an effective strategy to cope with the shortage of feedstocks such as wood chips and other bulking agents in the region.
