Economic assessment system towards sustainable composting quality in the developing countries

摘要: Reduction of landfills and dealing with the waste are among key elements cleaner production advanced environment policy. Composting represents one technologies in diverting organic from landfill. However, it has not been commonly practised developing countries due to low economic feasibility environmental issues that arise abuse compost quality. There a lack product standards an indication quality govern its market application. In order foster public confidence utilisation as much possible offset operating cost, assessment system is needed benchmark at reasonable cost. this study, set composting parameters their analysis have reviewed ranked following total scores terms relation agronomic value, technical complexity The were selected based on different criteria. An developed base decision comprises minimal analyses assess cost savings results presented work illustrated by four scenarios: Scenario 1 served baseline include all necessary remaining three (Scenarios 2, 3 4) had evaluated system. It shown was reduced 17 84 % depending type input material performance. highest saving reaching achieved 4 where carried out using segregated food landscape waste. could be very useful for improving towards sustainable countries.
