Economic development in industrial societies is responsible for the genesis of important amounts of wastes. Many of these wastes have important percentages of biomass, and their decomposition produces serious environmental problems in terms of malodours, emission of gases which have a greenhouse effect, leaching of toxic compounds and the necessity for large investments in building dumping places for their final deposit. This residual biomass, of urban, agricultural, livestock or industrial origin, after the elimination of its non-desirable components and later its thermal, chemical or biological transformation, could be used to produce energy or added to soil to improve crops. The Composting Research Group was established in 2003 bringing together the research experience of the Soil Science and Agrochemistry Section of the University of Burgos and scientists from other Sections such as Organic Chemistry or Chemical Engineering, in order to form a multidisciplinary and opened team that now forms part of the Composting Spanish Network.
