The organic fraction of waste (FORSU), represents the most critical element of the collection chain because it is the most perceptible to the community from the point of view of hygiene and odor impact. Its mismanagement brings to mind images of dumpsters set on fire. But this same matter, properly managed, has a strong environmental utility as a source of renewable energy and fertilizers. This book aims to show the most virtuous environmentally and energetically path to transform the problem of organic waste into a resource for the community..
The book connects a series of data and arguments on waste and on the FORSU in particular, from collection to treatment, for the purpose of biomethane production.
