Composting is one of the most effective ways of disposing of sludge in agriculture. Three bulking agents were studied: (1) the organic fraction of solid wastes, (2) solid agricultural and forestry waste (straw, maize cobs, sawdust, cork, pine cones, etc.), and (3) recyclable inert substrates (polystyrene or polyethylene balls, porous clay balls, etc.). The sole purpose of the inert bulking agent is to aid in the aeration and drying of the composting material.
