Summary and extracts
1 Market overview
1.1 Definition
Organic waste is a category of waste that originates solely from living organisms, whether animals or plants. This waste decomposes thanks to micro-organisms and bacteria, and can thus be used to produce different sources of energy or fertilizer. There are several methods of recycling this waste, the main ones being composting (aerobic digestion) or methanization (anaerobic digestion).
In France, taking into account professional waste, there are 13.8 tons of waste per inhabitant per year. Among this waste, 14% is biologically managed (composting/methanization of organic waste) . Households produce 354 kilograms of waste per year according to the ADEME, of which one third would be of organic origin at this scale.
The recovery of organic waste thus requires a collection that takes place at different levels. Several companies have specialised in this area, and depending on the Ministry of Ecology, local actors are playing an increasing role in the management of this bio-waste.
In a sector subject to strong regulations, the prospects for development remain important, particularly with the objectives of the law of ecological transition by 2025, which provides for the sorting at source of food waste, among other things. According to Les Echos. In addition, new technologies are constantly renewing market opportunities, such as the recent development of pyrogasification.

4 Analysis of the offer
4.1 Composters and methanizers
The two main applications of organic waste recycling are composting and methanization. The first one consists of aerobic digestion (***) of organic matter; the organic waste is degraded by the combined action of bacteria, fungi and micro-organisms.
The result is a stabilized, potting soil-like product rich in minerals. It can therefore be ...
