Why not the people producing it!
I do think that putting organic wastes back onto the land is the best thing so long as it’s safe to do that (I have to sign a bit of paper for the silos each year saying I haven’t used any sewage sludge, so presumably someone in the food chain doesn’t like it!) Got to be best if it might increase SOM and probably also be a fertiliser!It does make you wonder where people would prefer this was taken.
Landfill?
Dumped in the sea?
Burnt?
Recycling seems to be the “in” thing.....but yet even then the practice is considered unacceptable.
