DEPOSITS, GRANTS GIVING A BOOST TO C&D DIVERSION Nora Goldstein Waste characterization studies show a fairly high percentage of potentially recyclable construction and demolition materials going into the landfill. An innovative program in California taps into public sector incentives and private sector investments. Part II |

RESEARCH
REPORT CONTROLLING ODORS USING HIGH CARBON WOOD ASH Paul Rosenfeld, Mark Grey and Mel Suffet A pilot study at a yard trimmings composting facility found that wood ash can be an effective odor management tool. High carbon wood ash, at 12.5 and 25 percent of the composting mix, reduced odor detection (D/T) for a variety of odorous compounds. |

WINNING
THE “DIVERSION GOLD” MATERIALS RECOVERY DURING THE WINTER OLYMPIC GAMES John C. Madole and Carolyn LaFleur Obstacles are overcome to meet, and possibly beat, a landfill diversion goal of 85 percent. Sorting and composting of the 1,196 tons of mixed trash collected are key to the landfill diversion. |

STANDARDS,
PRODUCTS AND MARKETS THE STATUS OF DEGRADABLE PLASTICS FOR COMPOSTING Amy Satkofsky BioCycle surveys resin producers, bag manufacturers, certifiers and composting facility managers to provide a roadmap of biodegradable and degradable plastics now available. |

ASTM
D6400-99 STANDARDS DEFINED A standard set of tests established by ASTM measure the biological decomposition of plastic products with the intention of reducing confusion about what products are truly biodegradable. |

COMPOSTING
TRIAL IN KASSEL, GERMANY The success of biodegradable plastic packaging is being put to the test in this city of 200,000 people. The pilot project examines the impact of biopolymers on consumer habits and compost quality. |
