Organic Waste Compost
Industry Overview
Organic waste management presents challenges and possibilities alike for community-based economic development. Waste-to-compost conversion can be socially and economically prosperous by employing ecological design principles, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and values-based supply chains. An analysis of commercial buyers’ choices for compost will inform strategies for forming effective partnerships of public, private, and nonprofit stakeholders to uncover a market for local waste resource products.
Recyclable organics lead to ‘green’ organic wastes such as leaves and shrubs from household yards, tree pruning, parks and gardens, and road reserves. Commercial wet organics include organic wastes from the agriculture and food processing industries such as manures, grape marc, animal carcasses, wool scouring wastes, and biosolids. Domestic food waste is the food portion of the waste stream produced by households.
Domestic residual waste relates to the residual waste placed by householders in the garbage bin after source division has occurred. For all organic processing industry outlines considered, it can mark that domestic residual waste does not include paper, plastics, and cardboard, which are sources separated by householders for curbside recycling.
