The European Union initially demonstrated its interest in waste in
the late 70s with the progamme on Waste Recycling Research and
Development. At that time composting was only present as a
coordination activity and it was only later that specific research
programmes in the area were within Europe which was largely
instrumental in setting up a series of European conferences,
seminars and work shops. Some of these have resulted in
publications which have made significant contributions to
developments in the understanding of composting and the use of
composts. In particular the outputs from meetings in Oxford (
1984), Udine (1986), Neresheim ( 1988) and Angers ( 1991) are
worthy of note. Composting has seen significant changes since the
70s when the major thrust in Europe was using mixed municipal solid
waste as a feed material. Many com posting plants which were built
to use this material were closed due to the poor quality of the
compost which made it very difficult to market. As a result the
main areas of interest, as far as the municipa1ities are concemed,
are now with biowaste and source-separated organics. This interest
is apparent from the many new plants which are being constructed
across Europe, and the ready market which exists for the products.
In parallel with the renewed interest of the municipalities other
areas, such as agriculture and the wastewater treatment industries,
are also developing their own schemes."
