Process for the utilisation of solid paper mill waste.

摘要

A process for the utilisation of solid paper mill waste comprises introducing earthworms and/or earthworm cocoons into a mass of the waste and allowing the worms to mature and breed in the waste until it is converted into a friable, soil-like material. The earthworms and the friable, soil-like material may be subsequently separated; the material is suitable for use as a horticultural compost.
