The recycling of organic by-products has become more commonplace in both the public and private sectors.  Generators of organically based agricultural, municipal and industrial by-products have all found it necessary to consider new methods of managing these materials. Innovative techniques (e.g., composting, anaerobic digestion, granulation/pelletization) and new technologies (e.g., pyrolysis) are enabling greater volumes of these organic by-products to be manufactured into value added products. These products may vary greatly in their form and function, but relatively all of them have the opportunity for beneficial reuse. As a greater variety and volume of organic by-products are recycled, a greater emphasis must be placed on developing viable markets and distribution channels for them. Organic recycled products may be produced from various feedstocks, including:

​

• Yard Trimmings & Wood, Bark

• Municipal Biosolids

• Food Residuals & By-Products

• Municipal Solid Waste

• Industrial Sludges & By-Products

• Anaerobic Digestion By-Products

• Worm Castings

• Agricultural By-Products & Manures

• Paper, Cardboard

• Wood Processing By-Products

​

In their current state, or once further processed, these products may be considered valuable commodities for use in a variety of commercial applications. R.
