Compost-Like Output (CLO) is produced from a mixed waste stream (usually Municipal Solid Waste), typically as a by-product from a Mechanical Biological Treatment (MBT) process, and therefore it has requirements for further treatment and limitations on the type of land it can subsequently be applied to due to its relatively poor quality and the presence of contaminants that pose an environmental risk. For example, Compost-Like Output cannot be used in agricultural activities, and is generally sent to landfill or used in land restoration or biofuel crop growing[1].
It originates from the biologically-derived portion of waste streams which usually undergoes further treatment of Composting or Anaerobic Digestion, and leaves residual matter known as Compost-Like Output. The characteristics of CLO greatly depends on the composition of the original waste stream and the processing technique it has undergone[2].
