Thus, the pharmaceutical sector already uses sustainable plastics such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate), R-PET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) and PLA (polylactic acid), a 100% organic and compostable bioplastic. Following this path, there are lines of innovation that focus on improving the recyclability of blisters, PVC and aluminum laminates, which are the most used ...
UTK is also involved in a collaborative project between four companies from Lüdenscheid and Kierspe that produces antibacterial and compostable Face Shields: With Lometec based in Kamen, UTK has found a partner who has various methods for 3D digitization. ...
Inputs of synthetically produced fertilizer will need to be replaced with compost made locally from uneaten food that is collected locally.

Today, a research project in Tanzania examines the potential of combining this system with a composting technique called Terra Preta. The resulting fertiliser returns the nutrients from human waste to the soil, potentially helping to stop soil ...
During outbreaks of infectious animal diseases, composting may be an effective method of disposing of mortalities and potentially contaminated manure. Duplicate biosecure structures containing 16 cattle (Bos taurus) mortalities (343 kg average weight) were constructed with carcasses placed on a 40-cm straw layer and overlaid with 160 cm of feedlot manure. At a depth of 80 cm ...
