What is biowaste and why is it so important? 

How can we re-use it and what are the challenges of reusing biowaste? You can find answers to these questions and other useful resources about biowaste under Find out more.

What we can do for you

We work with central and local government, regional councils, communities and stakeholders who are looking for better biowaste re-use options.

We combine your local knowledge with the expertise from our four specialised research groups (soil science, social and cultural research, ecotoxicology and microbiology) to develop sustainable biowaste re-use solutions that are appropriate and safe for you and your community.

Have a look at our projects to read about real life examples of what researchers at CIBR can do for you.
