14. Options for Minsk
Agriculture
• Operating cost:
polymers
• Return to soil
nutrients: Carbon,
Phosphorus and
Nitrogen
• Drawbacks: solluble
heavy metals +
pathogens
Composting
• Cost: polymers (min
17 % dry matter),
asphalt site with
drainage (7 ha),
composting
equipment
• Operating cost:
polymers +
fuel+labour
• Compost: city green
waste and leaves
• Return to soil
nutrients: Carbon,
Phosphorus and
Nitrogen
Incineration
• Cost: polymers + 25
mln. Eur for drying
site
• Operating cost: 19-25
Eur/t
• Dried sewage sludge
energy potential: 10-
12 MJ/kg
• Drawbacks: loss of
nutrients
15. Why composting?
1. It is cheap: CAP+OP ~ 20-25 EUR/t
2. It solves green and wood waste issue
3. Pathogens and pharmaceuticals are destroyed during composting process
4. Heavy metals are immobilized – they are not bioavailable for plants
5. Return to soil nutrients – organic carbon, phosphorus and nitrogen
16. Circular economy solution
Swedish certification system called REVAQ
Operated by:
-The Swedish Water and Wastewater Association
-The Federation of Swedish Farmers
-The Swedish Food Federation
-The Swedish Food Retailers Federation
In cooperation with Swedish Environment Protection Agency
Systematic improvements – local upstream work:
-Cadmium goal 2025: 17 mgCd/kgP (- 7 mgCd/kgP2O5)
-Goals 2025 for 60 other metals
-2500 organic substances has to be substituted at connected industries
-Educating households
