Publication of ‘Biosolids Snapshot’
The Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities today released the ‘Biosolids Snapshot’.
The report is intended to provide a snapshot of biosolids in Australia. It collates and assesses data and information on biosolids from public sources, and water utilities and information available from the Australian and New Zealand Biosolids Partnership.
The Biosolids Snapshot provides information on biosolids production, end uses (markets), biosolids treatment and beneficial use, the value of biosolids, greenhouse gas implications, standards and guidelines, and market risks and opportunities.
Biosolids Snapshot can be accessed on the department’s website: http://www.environment.gov.au/wastepolicy/publications/biosolids-snapshot.html.
