The study also proposes ways in which planners and operators in developing countries can produce co-compost with faecal sludge and organic solid waste to better match their needs and requirements.

Scope

The scope of this report is to provide a brief assessment of the technical feasibility to implement the co-composting of faecal sludge and solid waste treatment facility as a reference document in developing countries.
