Abstract
The EC landfill directive demands the reduction of bio-degradable organic input into landfills. Separate collection of organic kitchen and garden waste for compost production is a first, useful and efficient step to reduce the organic landfill input. In areas, where the separate collection of organic waste (bio-waste) is already established or not possible, mechanical-biological (pre)treatment (MBP / MBT) is a way to reduce the organic landfill input remarkably. This article gives an overview over the basic elements of MBP-plants, material flow streams, biological degradation potential, necessary treatment duration, control parameters and costs.
