The negative numbers in the above table represent an additional air quality impact occurring<br />

as a result <strong>of</strong> re-processing (in comparison to a situation where the product is manufactured<br />

from virgin input)<br />

This section considers the environmental impacts associated with two types <strong>of</strong><br />

composting process<br />

1. Windrow (or open) composting systems;<br />

2. In vessel (or enclosed) composting systems.
