Biowaste: XXVIII National Conference on composting and anaerobic digestion. Technical Session

The session will address topics related to organic matrices, their recycling methods and the valorisation of obtainable products, ranging from biomethane to various types of organic fertilisers (soil conditioners and fertilisers), useful for maintaining soil organic fertility, as well as compounds employable in a variety of industrial applications.
