What is waste? Waste is essentially bio-mass of human excreta, sewage sludge, septage, and slaughterhouse waste.
These wastes can contain large levels of pathogens and chemical contaminants that at these concentrations are hazardous to human health and the environment. However, these wastes do contain significant nutrients, food value. If handled correctly, the biomass can be used for energy recovery or converted to fertiliser.
