Published purpose

Composting technology is one of the environmental strategies of choice for the management of solid organic waste in cities: C40 City Zero Waste. When discarded, food, with its eco-packaging and new “green” electronic labels, is a particularly critical problem. Questions: are they compostable and can they all be thrown in our “brown bins”? An O2-CO2 respirometer will be used to answer these “fundamental” questions from a microbiological point of view and their eco-design.
