Carbon sequestration mechanism by using charcoal (biochar) and compost in Farmland
For global warming prevention, sequestration mechanism of carbon in soil used with charcoal (biochar) was studied, and analysis method of charcoal carbon amount in the soil was established quantitatively
. By using charcoal carbonizedfrom biomass materials and food waste compost in the farmland, carbon sequestration for long period and increase of microorganisms in the soil are expected. Food waste compost was made in composting factory. FIGURE 1 shows flow chart of preparing food waste compost with charcoal in thefactory. Wood charcoal powder and compost made from food garbagewere used to the red-clayey soil farm land located in the suburbs ofTokyo.As aggregate of the soil can be developed with microorganisms in thesoil, adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) concentration in the soil wasmeasured. The structure of the aggregate was estimated with the wetscreen method. The mean weight diameter (MWD) of the soil wascalculated with particle diameter (mm) and the integration number ofthe aggregate (%).As shown in FIGURE 2, the ATP concentration increased in the soilused with the charcoal and the compost, and about the half value ofwhich was observed in the soil with compost and without charcoal. There no change was observed in the soil without the addition.The MWD value of the soil was about 30 before the test. FIGURE 3 shows that after ten days using the charcoal and the compost, the MWD value increases to 58. In the soil with thecompost and without charcoal, the MWD increased to 48. It was found that the soil was aggregated withmicroorganisms in the soil. The aggregation of the soil in farmland was developed by using the charcoal and the compost. It was suggested that the soil was aggregated with microorganisms proliferated on the surface of the aggregate in the soil.

Comparison of Batch and semi-comtinuous acidogenic process of Food waste anaerobic digestion
© European Compost Network ECN e.V. (6/2012)
During food waste anaerobic digestion (AD), higher rate of acidogenesis than the methanogenesis affects the stability of the reactor in a single-phase AD system. To decouple the acidogenesis from methanogenesis with the purpose to optimize each reactor separately, in recent years, a two-phase AD is proposed, especially to treat high solid food waste. In the two-phase system, leach bed reactor (LBR) as the first phase, i.e. hydrolysis-acidogenesis, of the two-phase system has gained more attention due to its operational simplicity and efficiency for organic wastes with high solids content.

Compostability of Plastics and packaging: Standards on biodegradability and ecotoxicity
© European Compost Network ECN e.V. (6/2012)
The first attempts to define a standard on requirements for plastics and packaging suitable to composting date back tothe middle of 90s, when ORCA (Organic Reclamation and Composting Association) in Europe and ISR-ASTM(Institute for Standard Research of ASTM) in the USA, started fundamental preliminary works. Official standardspecifications were developed shortly after. ASTM D6400 (Standard Specification for Compostable Plastics) wasoriginally published in 1999 and the European harmonised standard EN 13432 (Packaging. Requirements for packagingrecoverable through composting and biodegradation. Test scheme and evaluation criteria for the final acceptance ofpackaging) the year after.

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.
Sortenreinheit von Bioabfällen und Komposten

Die Menge an produziertem Kompost aus Anlagen, die einer RAL-Gütesicherung unterliegen, konnte in den letzten Jahrzehnten zunehmend gesteigert und im Vergleich zum Jahr 2000 auf über 4 Mio. Tonnen verdoppelt werden. Jedoch gab es im Jahr 2022 einen Rückgang bei den angelieferten Mengen, vor allem beim Grüngut, sodass trotz steigender Anlagenzahlen der Input für die Kompostierung um 700.000 Tonnen gesunken ist.
