Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainable development is one of the most important challenges of the 21st century. This is due to the fact that people are becoming more and more aware of the negative impact on the environment. Therefore, solutions conducive to its protection while meeting human needs are important.
In addition to manure or slurry, sewage sludge and digestate produced in biogas plants as a result of anaerobic digestion are commonly used. These products are a valuable source of nutrients and, after meeting the appropriate criteria, can be used in agriculture, remediation, and thermal processes. These fertilizers, apart from nutrients, are a source of organic matter for soils, which should be considered as their next advantage. The direct use of sewage sludge, digestate or compost based on them is in line with the idea of a circular economy trend.
