The State of the Art of Composting

The State of the Art of  Composting

An Austrian guideline was first published by the Austrian Ministry for Agriculture and Forestry, Environment and Water Management (BMLFUW) in 2005 (Amlinger et al., 2005a). It supported two ordinances defined in Austrian waste legislation, namely: 1) The Biowaste Ordinance (FLG No 68/1992) which mandates the source separation and biological treatment (mainly through composting and anaerobic digestion) of organic waste since 1995 and 2) The Compost Ordinance (FLG II No 292/2001) which established an end-of-waste regulation for compost produced from defined organic wastes when the resulting compost fulfils quality requirements in addition to obligations for monitoring and external quality assurance.
