Commercial composting is achieved by first sorting the waste, so materials that should not be composted are removed. For optimal decomposition, the starting contents should have a good carbon to nitrogen ratio, preferably 30 parts carbon to 1 part nitrogen.
For a company to send their waste for commercial composting is a way to show environmental responsibility.
Commercial composting is an industry that is growing and there a massive opportunities opening up into the future for the compost produced, and as oil prices rise. The agriculture industry is far too reliant on chemical fertilizers that require a huge energy input to produce, but the commercial composters can help reset the balance.

Commercial composting is a highly effective waste treatment, diverting biodegradable waste away from landfill where it would generate methane, a greenhouse gas over 20 times more damaging than carbon dioxide. Composting is a natural, aerobic process, meaning it needs oxygen to make it work.
Waste generation continues to increase worldwide in tandem with growth in consumption, and economic globalization facilitates the global transfer of wastes.
A log is biodegradable, but not compostable because it takes years to fully biodegrade.
Incineration Plant Facts
A waste incineration plant is an important facility for public health as it involves protects the environment in a number of ways. Unless the waste materials are properly disposed by the waste incinerator plant, it may be a serious hazard for the community. The main type of waste incinerator plant used around the world is […]

Windrow Composting
Windrow composting is a way of generating compost by piling organic matter into extended rows or arc-like piles. The piles are turned over by large machinery to preserve even levels of heat, humidity, and oxygen content. Piles will usually range from four to eight feet tall and 14-16 feet in length. Windrow composting is a […]
Large In-vessel Composting Systems: What are They and How Do They Work?
Progressive cities and many urban centers around the world are now installing large-scale in-vessel composting systems as part of their total MSW management. Large scale in-vessel composting, which makes high quality compost through the use of enclosed “reactors” that closely monitor temperature and oxygen levels throughout the biodegradation of organic materials, is popular. In-vessel composting […]
Autoclave Technology for Municipal Solid Waste Management
Autoclaving is defined as a form of Mechanical Heat Treatment (MHT) which takes place as a batch process and comprises steam processing of residual MSW, in a vessel under the action of pressure. This is contrasted with other MHT waste treatment technologies which are continuous and don’t involve pressurization. Autoclave and Steam Plant – Estech […]
