In order to allow decentralised composting to unfold its full benefits for developing countries, environmental, social and economic aspects need to be considered. Successful composting is only achievable if municipal administrations are open-minded enough to accept new working partnerships and appropriate technologies. The needs of citizens and the market have to be considered and potential sources of income must be developed.
This paper summarises the research findings of Sandec’s research programme on decentralised composting. It presents the strengths and weaknesses and provides indicators for sustainable decentralised composting schemes. Furthermore, it introduces the latest outputs of Sandec’s work including the decomp database and a users’ manual on decentralised composting.
