CROA’s objectives are being achieved by undertaking collaborative projects which are characterising Recycled Organic products and quantifying their agronomic performance; examining soil and environmental criteria; and developing best practice guidelines and extension programs for beneficially reusing recovered resources.

There are eight projects currently being undertaken at CROA:

• Quantifying the benefits of recycled organics in agricultural cropping systems
• Composting as a means of managing large numbers of livestock mortalities
• Guidelines for the safe reuse of metal-containing wastes on land
• Guidelines for the use of recycled organics in agriculture
• Guidelines for using compost in land rehabilitation and catchment management
• Integrated Soil and Crop Management for Rehabilitation of Vegetable Production in the Tsunami-affected Areas of NAD Province, Indonesia
• Using compost to restore degraded land in the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment
• Granulated biosolids in turf
