China to convert waste to fertilizer
Article Abstract:
International Bio Recovery Corp (IBR) of North Vancouver, British Columbia, has partnered with Strategic Investors to build plants in China that will use IBR's technology to convert organic waste into fertilizer products. The facilities will specifically handle biosolids, animal wastes and organic waste from food production. The first plant, with a capacity to treat 220 metric tons of urban organic waste per day, is expected to be completed by the end of 2002.

Zinc-based-fertilizer rules proposed
Article Abstract:
The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed regulations that apply to recycling of hazardous wastes to make zinc fertilizer products. The proposal, which is intended to establish a more consistent regulatory framework, outlines conditions for excluding hazardous secondary materials that are used to make zinc micronutrient fertilizers from the definition of solid waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
