Organic Waste Management

Dear Colleagues,

The focus of this Special Issue is on organic waste management. Organic waste management is increasingly becoming an important area of resource recovery. The reuse of organic waste for compost/soil conditioners or bio-gas production were early applications for resource recovery in organic waste management. The removal of organic waste from landfills has also been an important contributor to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) production associated with landfill management. There are many components of organic waste including food, paper, cardboard materials, biosolids, land clearing/wood, garden refuse and animal waste. The successful resource recovery of organic wastes is largely dependent on effective separation at the point of waste generation. Local government and community education programs are also an important part of resource recovery from organic waste.

It is hoped that this Special Issue of Recycling will provide a useful catalogue of the latest management, technology, and education programs to improve organic waste management and resource recovery.
