• Collection of all solid fractions for biogas and application of the sludge in<br />

agriculture<br />

The described solutions are most suitable for new building, since buildings as<br />

well as collection, treatment and disposal systems can be organised in a proper<br />

manner.<br />

The current legislation gives a possibility for wide ecological application of<br />

waste products, with consideration of both health and environmental aspects.<br />

Before implementation of large-scale systems, a number of specific studies<br />

should be conducted. Furthermore, the possibilities and barriers in connection<br />

with an extended use of recirculation of nutrients should be analysed. This<br />

analysis should also include an evaluation of socio-economy, sociological<br />

studies, theoretical market potential for the products and demands for the<br />

ultimate users, i.e. farmers, gardeners and the purchasers of their products,<br />

such as milk producers, food industry and individual consumers.<br />

Project results<br />

Some of the 12 systems are suitable for development whereas others cannot<br />

be recommended<br />

12 specific solutions are described schematically, including experience from<br />

construction and operation, hygiene and health, energy consumption,<br />

recirculation potential, economy, area requirements, efforts required from<br />

citizens, and possibilities/barriers. This project concludes that:<br />

• wet composting is not an attractive solution. Similar and more simple<br />

solutions exist which provide a better use of the waste products,<br />

• local composting and application of faeces should not be applied in urban<br />

areas due to, amongst others, health risks and the present technological<br />

stage,<br />

• collection of urine/traditional handling of the remaining waste provides<br />

increased recirculation with a simple/well-known system,<br />

• biogasification of everything but grey water is most suitable for increased<br />

recirculation of nutrients and use of waste products as a resource.<br />

Summarised evaluation of the actual technological stage<br />

• All systems described include techniques and components that were<br />

neither fully developed nor sufficiently examined. These techniques<br />

and components should be developed to be more sturdy, reliable and<br />

maintainable.<br />

• The systems with local handling of waste products are more sensitive<br />

towards undisciplined users, which might result in hygienic problems<br />

locally and complicate further processing.<br />

• For part of the systems described, only limited experience is available<br />

from traditional residential areas. However, much experience is<br />

available on the use of the different components in ecological building<br />

areas and house sharing established by persons with a fundamental<br />

ecological attitude.<br />
