The Composting Handbook provides a single guide to the science,
principles and best practices of composting for large-scale
composting operations facing a variety of opportunities and
challenges converting raw organic materials into a useful and
marketable product. Composting is a well-established and
increasingly important method to recycle and add value to organic
by-products. Many, if not most, of the materials composting treats
are discarded materials that would otherwise place a burden on
communities, industries, farms and the environment. Composting
converts these materials into a valuable material, compost, that
regenerates soils improving soils for plant growth and
environmental conservation. The Composting Handbook expands on
previously available resources by incorporating new information,
new subjects and new practices, drawing its content from current
scientific principles, research, engineering and industry
experience. In both depth and breadth, it covers the knowledge that
a compost producer needs to succeed. Topics include the composting
process, methods of composting, equipment, site requirements,
environmental issues and impacts, business knowledge, safety, and
the qualities, uses and markets for the compost products. The
Composting Handbook is an invaluable reference for composting
facility managers and operators, prospective managers and
operators, regulators, policy makers, environmental advocates,
educators, waste generators and managers and generally people
interested in composting as a business or a solution. It is also
appropriate as a textbook for college courses and a supplemental
text for training courses about composting or organic waste
management.
