In Denmark, the key perception issue has been to ensure that all consumers are<br />

happy that they are not purchasing anything which poses a risk to human or animal<br />

health, with policy around compost standards designed to address these concerns.<br />

Additional obstacles to further increases in composting have mostly related to the<br />

successful collection <strong>of</strong> source-separated biowaste, and in overcoming the short-term<br />

slower release <strong>of</strong> nitrogen from compost compared to from mineral fertilisers. 706 It is<br />

interesting to note that the overall proportion <strong>of</strong> sewage sludge being used in<br />

composting/AD plants in Denmark is decreasing over time in favour <strong>of</strong> source-<br />
