Role of MBT in increasing the number of composting facilities in Iran
In I.R. Iran with respect to 0.64 Kg/Cap.day garbage, near 48,000 ton of solid waste is produced daily. Regarding to high percentage of biodegradable material in this waste, production of 10,000 ton/day of fine compost is possible. At this time, only 15 active composting plants are available in Iran and if all of them act with nominal capacity, only 12% of the total produced municipal solid waste will be processed and reminder will be disposed with the other methods.
Unfortunately, as the solid waste in Iran collected without any source segregation, the quality of produced compost is poor. The Presence of glass may be the main reason for poor quality of this compost. Refused batteries are also other sources that reduced the Desirability of compost for the consumers. In order to increase the quantity and quality of produced compost, development of mechanical and biological treatment (MBT) systems are strongly recommended. Developing of MBT systems in solid waste managing facilities not only increase the quality of compost but also reduce the reject elements which remains after processing and will be sent for disposal to landfill. By taking advantage of these systems, it is expected that the production of compost will increase up to 10%. It is also causes the composting plant to be profitable. Therefore, it is anticipated that the number of composting facilities increase dramatically in the near future.

Hungarian municipal solid wastes (MSW) management has developed tremendously over the past 15 years. More than 3,000 landfills and dumps had been closed, just to mention one improvement. However, still, lots of work is necessary to accomplish the EU’s ambitious aim of decreasing landfilling and increasing recycling and composting.

Für die Produktion von Qualitätskompost in Kompostieranlagen stellt die Störstoffbelastung, insbesondere von Kunststoffen, im Inputmaterial von biogenen Abfällen aus Haushalten ein wesentliches Problem dar. Hierbei sind vor allem Kunststoffsäcke, welche als Vorsammelhilfe verwendet werden, störend.
