ECN - European Compost Network
The Network is a collaboration of partners, promoting sustainable practices in composting,
anaerobic digestion and other treatment procedures for organic residues across Europe.
It aims to address the needs of both practical operators and decision makers.
The objectives of ECN are to promote the adoption of sustainable systems for organic
waste management through technological development and improvement of practices.
ECN pursues these objectives by:
- The exchange of knowledge and experiences in the practice of collection, treatment, recycling,
application and disposal of organic wastes including the management of environmental side effects.
- Promoting scientific research and development activities and their co-ordination between the
European countries.
- Making available the results of research and development, new analytical and working
procedures and especially the related practical aspects.
- Providing information of all aspects within the field of activity of the Network to decision
makers on national and international level, however, these activities do not include the giving of
expert opinion.
- Organising of workshops, seminars etc on an international or regional level and supporting
such meetings organised by other associations active in the range of biological waste.
- Establishing and maintaining relations with other international or national organisations
whose activities are related to organic waste management.
ECN shares knowledge and information among members through email, exchange of reports
and articles, workshops and a web site which includes web based discussion forums. The ECN
initiates and supports new activities, projects and works carried out by individual members
or groups of members supporting the objectives of the ECN.
