Abstract

Composting is very important in practicing environmentally sustainable agriculture because compost application conserve soil and its fertility. Composting is also another important factor in achieving high national recycling goal above 20%. To encourage composting, it is necessary to revise current regulations on composting. Current regulation set the limit only for 4 metals and the limit is significantly strict, especially for lead, which dictates less than 150ppm. In this paper, authors suggested reasonable standard for some heavy metal concentration in compost taking into account other country's criteria.
