Nov 24, 2020 · Composting yard trimmings, agricultural wastes, and sewage sludge have increased the interest in composting of organic fractions from MSW. MSW contains materials that vary in size, moisture, and nutrient content, and the organic fractions can be mixed with varying degrees of non-compostable wastes and possibly hazardous constituents.
Jan 1, 2024 · This review outlines innovative strategies for sustainable agro-waste management. It emphasizes the move away from the linear “take-make-dispose” model towards designing products, processes and systems that promote reuse, recycling and resource recovery ( Gómez-Brandón et al., 2013; Prasertsan et al., 2011 ).
Aug 30, 2021 · Abstract. Agro-industry generates large amount of waste with diverse characteristics. The accumulation of agricultural waste is in the excess of 2 billion tons worldwide. This makes it imperative to investigate how agro-industrial waste utilization can be advanced to the next phase to maximise benefits from the sector.
