Degradation and environmental assessment of compostable packaging mixed with biowaste in full-scale industrial composting conditions
Résumé
The incorporation of representative commercial compostable materials into a full-scale open-air windrow composting process in an industrial site using household -separated biowaste was investigated. Two batches out of the same initial biowaste mixture were studied, one as control and the other containing initially 1.28 wt% of certified compostable plastics. No significant differences in the composting process were revealed. Compostable plastics exhibited a 98 wt% mass loss after 4 months, aligning with industrial composting times. The evolution of the morphology of the materials unveiled polymer specific degradation mechanisms. Both Safety requirements for organic farming were met. Ecotoxicity tests showed no adverse effects, agronomic fertilizing and amending quality was high, the materials compost even enhancing barley growth. The ecological impact assessment demonstrated an advantage for composting over incineration for seven of the eight indicators. In conclusion, this study shows the successful integration of compostable materials into industrial composting, upholding product safety and quality.
