Organic household wastes

Organic household wastes are various types of either source separated organic household wastes, such as a mixture of all organic material originating from households, or the organic fraction of household wastes that have been separated after collection, and in some cases undergone further pretreatment.

Used units are:

  • Ton for amount
  • % for dry matter (DM)
  • % of DM for organic matter and VS
  • kg per ton for macro elements (N, NH4-N, P, K, organic C, Mg, Ca and Na)
  • gram per ton for trace elements (Cu and Zn)

The shown values are to be considered as examples, alone, that illustrates the chemical composition for relevant parametres, and as well the variation in the composition. The references must be consulted in each case in order to clarify for instance the analysis method.
