Composting industrial waste

Participate in the recovery of waste from industrial activities

Valorizing Animal and Plant Waste from Industry

A significant portion of industrial waste of animal or plant origin can be treated through composting and co-composting. To obtain a homogeneous compostable product, the input characteristics of industrial waste are controlled: structure, size, chemical composition, moisture content,… The compost from industrial wastes is primarily aimed at agricultural recovery.

Sludge from wastewater treatment plants

Sewage sludge from wastewater treatment plants is difficult to compost due to its high moisture content and lack of structure. In order to obtain a quality standardized NFU 44095 compost, the sludges are mixed with co-composting materials. These co-composting materials consist of plant matter and possibly a fermentable fraction of household waste and/or animal manure.

Composting slaughterhouse waste

These wastes are subject to regulations in terms of size and temperature before composting. The following wastes must be mixed with co-composting materials: blood, feathers, offal, viscera, fats, and digestive tract contents collected from animals suitable for consumption as well as parts of slaughtered animals declared unfit for consumption.

Composting hatchery waste

Hatcheries produce the following waste: dead and culled animals, downgraded and clear eggs, shells, down feathers, unhatched fertilized eggs. European regulations permit the composting of these wastes. In order to obtain standardized compost, these wastes must be mixed with co-composting materials in order to comply with current legislation.

Recovery of industrial waste through composting

Industrial waste composting is a promising approach for managing by-products of animal or plant origin. This ecological process helps to reduce waste by transforming it into rich organic amendments, thereby contributing to soil fertility and reducing environmental impacts.

Rigorous Management of Industrial Waste

The treatment of industrial waste through composting requires careful analysis and preparation of inputs. The structure, size, chemical composition, and moisture content of waste are adjusted to ensure a homogeneous composting process. This precision is crucial for producing quality compost primarily intended for agricultural recovery.

Sludges from Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plants

Sludge from industrial wastewater treatment plants poses significant challenges due to their high water content and lack of structure. A meticulous mix with plant co-compost materials is essential to meet the NFU 44095 standard. This standardized compost proves to be an asset for agricultural applications after undergoing rigorous treatments to ensure safety and quality.

Recovery of Abattoir Waste

Abattoir waste such as blood, feathers, offal, and other animal by-products are subject to strict controls in terms of size and thermal treatment before composting. Co-composting them with structuring materials neutralizes potential nuisances and ensures that the final product complies with health and environmental standards.

Integration of Hatchery Waste

Composting hatchery wastes, including unhatched eggs, shells, and down feathers, is permitted under European regulations. Their transformation into compost requires mixing with suitable co-components to balance the mixture while complying with legislation. The resulting product is a standardized compost that contributes to sustainable resource management.
