Anaerobic digestion of source segregated residual organic waste is gaining substantial interest around the world due to its indisputable economic and socio-environmental benefits; these being the production of renewable energy and fertiliser, reduction of the amount of waste disposed at landfills and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. 
Anaerobic digestion converts organic material into three beneficial products, i.e. biogas, digestate and sustainable waste management.  

If digestate is derived from appropriate source segregated feedstocks and processed under continuously controlled conditions it can be sold as a high quality fertiliser called biofertiliser.
The Bioenergy Association has been developing a Technical Guide based on the UK BSI PAS110 which sets out an approach which leads to production and sale of certified biofertilizer from source-segregated organic waste. This Technical Guide (TG8) takes the best of PAS 110 and puts it into a New Zealand, Australian and South Pacific context.

If you are considering processing source separated organic waste into a biofertiliser, or are a regulator, you should participate in the workshop to assist establish a best practice guide for New Zealand and Australia.
