ARC | New guide on applying organic amendments for soil rehabilitation

The Catalan Waste Agency (ARC) and CREAF (Catalan Centre for Ecological Research and Forestry Applications) have published a new manual on applying organic amendments for soil rehabilitation. This practical guide provides criteria for selecting and using organic amendments such as sewage sludge, compost, and livestock manure in soil restoration projects. It offers clear and actionable guidelines for technicians and professionals, covering everything from the fundamentals of soil restoration to techniques for mixing and applying these amendments, highlighting their benefits and best practices.

This approach contributes to the circular bioeconomy by creating new avenues for waste valorisation. The manual supports efforts aligned with the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030), global initiative declared by the United Nations to restore and protect ecosystems around the world, reaffirming ARC's commitment to sustainability and responsible resource management.
