This course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the criteria for quality digestate output and the conditions under which it can be utilised as a product and not a waste material.
It is relevant for:
- Operators of an anaerobic digestion plant
- Anaerobic digester manufacturers and equipment suppliers
- Farmers and agricultural companies using digestate bio fertiliser
- Food waste producers supplying an anaerobic digestion plant
- Regulators responsible for PAS 110 compliance
PAS110 and end of waste criteria are the BSI industry specifications by which those involved in anaerobic digestion and biogas production can ensure the digestate output from their AD processing plant is safe to be used as a bio fertiliser. BSI PAS110 accredited AD plants classify biowaste as a product rather than waste and supply it to farms as organic compost.
EU end of waste criteria are a wider group of specifications that are used to identify when a variety of waste ceases to be waste and becomes a product, such as, in the case of anaerobic digestion, a digestate bio fertiliser. These align to PAS 110 in the UK and are designed to provide a high level of environmental protection and environmental and economic benefit.
