Biosolids are a by-product of the wastewater treatment process that can be used as fertiliser, in land rehabilitation or as a construction material. However, around 30% of the by-product still goes to land-fill in Australia. The Centre will undertake projects to investigate how this valuable resource can best be managed across the entire process, from treating biosolid waste to transportation and legislation. In addition to providing new practices and technologies the Centre will develop a skilled workforce ready to use the new technologies as they emerge.
