Abstract

Composting is nowadays an important and efficient process in sustainable organic waste management. Recycling process of biodegradable organic waste (animal and agriculture residues, sewage sludge, household refuse) by composting, also represents an ecological solution to synthesize new materials used as biofertilizers or adsorbents in wastewater treatment. The paper presents results obtained in composting vegetables waste, sewage sludge, beech sawdust and beech ash, monitoring the parameters of the composting process and investigation of the nutritional quality of the compost by germination test.
