Learn more about Biodegradable Waste... |

The topic "Biodegradable Waste" affects two other current as well as urgent topics: the global climatic change and the energy supply. Until today world-wide most of the organic waste still is deposited in an unordered and untreated way. As consequence large quantities of the climate relevant gas methane develop.
