Workshop on Sustainable ornamental plant cultivation through reuse of nutrients / Duurzaam siertelen door hergebruik van nutriënten

Location
PCS, Destelbergen, Belgium
Start date

The following product/technology will be presented / het volgende product / technologie wordt gepresenteerd:

  • Compost from green waste and pre-digested vegetable, fruit and garden wastes by "IOK Afvalbeheer" process (ID:272) / Compost van groenafval en voorverteerd groente-, fruit- en tuinafval door het "IOK Afvalbeheer"-proces (ID:272)

  • Technology for N&P recovery as compost starting from organic waste with farm composting process (ID:292) / Technologie voor N&P-terugwinning uit organisch afval met productie van boerderijcompost (ID:292)

 

During the workshop different examples of reuse of N and P will be presented and discussed the legal requirements/consequences of their use. Several applications of compost will be demonstrated: increasing soil organic carbon content, replacing peat and fertilisers in potting soils, their bio-control effect. In addition the use of recovered nutrients in form of recycled substrates or saturated P-filter materials (ICS) will also been demonstrated.
