The removal of plastics from the OFMSW digestate

Webinar, Wednesday 8 June 2022, ore 15:00-17:00

In light of the new European legislation on fertilizers and the pressing need to replace chemical fertilizers with renewable fertilizers, the removal of plastics from compost and digestate becomes increasingly important, in order to allow an increasingly widespread use in agriculture.

Starting with the improvement of the separate collection of organic waste, up to the technological solutions adopted by the treatment plants, this webinar will address a number of aspects related to the removal of physical contaminants through production processes, in view of the new regulatory requirements.

• Regulatory evolution. What effects they will have on the collection side and on the output side
  
• Upstream and downstream technical solutions for plastics removal
  
• EOW processes for the enhancement of digestate and fertilizer regulations
