Objective
Coat sow residues (hair of animals) cannot be recovered and recycled because serious technological difficulties for its treatment by any method considered. That is why coat sow residues are, at the end, dumped into urban landfills. In some cases those organic residues suppose up to 80% of the whole volume of wastes located in landfills Developing a profitable methodology to transform it in compost will solve this problem. Moreover, the use of such a rich product could generate a compost with a high added value because high nitrogen levels of this residue. The actual tendency on the utilisation of compost by farmers is growing up. This methodology permits the reduction of the landfill pressure through the recycle of the organic residues. The implementation of this methodology suppose the symbiotic collaboration between slaughters/tanneries, transformation companies and farmers that will close a cycle of life where should generate a considerable number of specialised employees
