Methods and systems for manipulating varied biological recyclable streams to produce agricultural admixtures are herein described. The resulting agricultural admixtures can be used to enhance crop yield, or as an animal provender. Managing the sources of varied biological recyclable streams can afford agricultural admixtures with controlled properties.

The present invention relates generally to the field of waste processing. The method comprises separating waste into at least two parts, comprising: (i) mainly food waste (fines) and (ii) mainly paper and other recyclable material (overs). The overs are pulped and washed to obtain a cellulose-rich biomass and the fines are optionally processed separately to recover a cellulose-rich biomass and the cellulose-rich biomass from both the fines and the overs may be combined.

An automated food waste processing system including an enclosure secured to prevent unauthorized access to contents contained therein, the enclosure including a plurality of exterior walls and a food waste processing system housed within the enclosure. The food waste processing system including an imaging system configured to capture a plurality of images of the food waste and the non-biodegradable material received by the sorting receptacle, a processing system configured to process the plurality of images using a trained neural network to identify at least plastic waste and metal waste as the non-biodegradable material when included in the food waste input stream as received by the sorting receptacle, and a sorting system configured to, in response to instructions received from the processing system, automatically locate and remove the non-biodegradable material from the sorting receptacle to create a bio-degradable input stream to the anaerobic digester.

The present disclosure relates to the production of biomass from at least one plastic polymer. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to use of a feed for production of biomass, wherein larvae of the family Pyralidae or of the family Tenebrionidae are fed on a feed comprising at least one plastic polymer, a related use of increasing pupation in a population of larva.

A granular fertilizer or soil conditioner containing at least three layers, a layer (12) having a core media and at least one nitrogen compound, an alkaline layer (16) and an inert barrier layer (14) there between. The fertilizer may be used to replace commercially available chemical or mineral fertilizers.

A granular fertilizer or soil conditioner (10) containing a bio-based core matrix (12) with at least one nitrogen compound and an inert barrier layer (12) thereon. The fertilizer or soil conditioner may be used to replace commercially available soil conditioners or chemical or mineral fertilizers.

The present invention relates to methods of processing organic waste, in particular it relates to a method for making fertilizer from organic waste, especially slow release fertilizer. The present invention also relates to fertilizers made by the method of the invention, especially slow release fertilizer. The method of processing organic waste to provide a slow-release fertilizer may comprise at least one hydrolysis step to provide hydrolyzed organic waste and a setting step to provide a slow release fertilizer.
