AFPA Report on Composting Finished

A recently completed research by the American Forest and Paper Association finds that high-quality compost can be produced using laminated paper products. Research was conducted using Dartmouth College's food service waste stream.

The organic residuals are mixed with bulking agents of shredded office paper, sawdust and leaves prior to being placed in the agitated bay. No mechanical grinding or shredding is performed on the material before composting.
