2.1. Compost sampling
27 Samples from home composting were obtained from 27 different
composters, all them located in Spain. Samples from home
composting were divided into several categories in accordance to
the place where the composter was located. The categories were
defined according the use of the composter: individual (Family)
or collective (school and community). Samples from Community
category were obtained from composters located in neighborhoods
and canteens. Also, some samples from Family vermicomposters
were analyzed and compared with home compost as an alternative
for the self-management of biowaste.
