Topic:
Biowaste
The North Aegean Islands of Chios and Lesvos set recycling goals for organic residues from MSW. Both islands, in line with the National and the Regional Plans for Municipal Waste Management, have selected the approach of mechanical-biological stabilization of MSW in combination with separated...Read more
Compost Quality Assessment of Various Agricultural Wastes and Organic Manures
(Corresponding) Radwan S., (Corresponding) Ashour E.
Topic:
Solid waste management
Today the quality of compost is the most essential criterion in recycling organic wastes, as well as its marketing and utilization in agriculture. Environmentally safe recycling of organic waste to agricultural land could be crucial to sustaining soil productivity in Mediterranean areas, where soil...Read more

Evaluation of a new technology for increasing the quality of a compost
Mori De Olivera C., Sammito A., Boano M., Fischetti M., Toso L., Pizio R., Bellopede R., (Corresponding) Marini P.
Topic:
Sustainable production and management of biomass
Composting is a treatment process that transforms biodegradable organic waste into compost, a product that is rich in essential nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) and can be used as a fertilizer for the cultivation of agricultural land. By decreasing landfill disposal and avoiding...Read more
Physicochemical and spectroscopic characteristics of compost from vineyard waste and wine lees valorization
Manoli P., Rapti I., Tzakou C., Rontou A., Patakioutas G., (Corresponding) Hela D.
Topic:
Sustainable production and management of biomass
The present study deals with the analysis of chemical and spectroscopic characteristics of compost as a valorization product of vineyard and winery wastes within circular economy. The C/N ratio showed a stabilized compost. HA was increased at the final stage and low E4/E6 values denoted a mature...Read more
