Beneficial Co-Utilization of Agricultural, Municipal and Industrial by-Products

This text focuses on the blending of residuals to create valuable products. It looks at the range of factors that need to be taken into account for any co-utilization programme to be successful and potential uses for co-utilization products are outlined.
