Technical compost, technical digestate

Draft Order of the Minister for the Environment of the Republic of Lithuania amending Order No D1-778 of the Minister for the Environment of the Republic of Lithuania of 26 September 2012 adopting the Requirements for the quality and use of technical composts, technical digestates and stabilates (hereinafter, ‘draft Order’)

The draft Order proposes that technical composts compliant with the stability parameters specified in paragraph 6 of the Requirements for the quality and use of technical composts and technical digestates be used in landfill rehabilitation, layering, the generation of power in waste or co-incineration plants, or be disposed of at landfills. If such composts fail to comply with the said stability parameters, the draft Order proposes their use only for the generation of power in waste or co-incineration plants, or their disposal at landfills. The use of technical compost will be restricted to landfill rehabilitation, layering, the generation of power in waste or co-incineration plants, or its disposal at landfills. Therefore, the draft Order proposes eliminating the maximum permissible limit values for heavy metal and other admixture content as well as the microbiological parameters.
