At the post-consumer stage, this can be achieved by composting practices ranging from large-scale facilities to home (or yard) composting. Increasing costs for final disposal of MSW also point towards the use of composting technology as an alternative. This paper presents some results and conclusions from various small-scale composting activities implemented in Hanoi and Manila under different socio-economic settings, as well as a case study on a larger-scale composting scheme in the Prefecture of Pieria, Greece in the frame of a 2-year joint research project. It focuses on recommendations towards the Asian partners on how to improve their composting processes, on the basis of reviewing and assessing current composting practices in Vietnam and the Philippines, as well as some remarks on cost parameters for the Hellenic case study. </p></abstract><publication_date><month>04</month><day>30</day><year>2013</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>343</first_page><last_page>351</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">497</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.000497</doi><timestamp>1714062396</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/497</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
