Organic wastes can be treated to produce compost (using aerobic treatment) or a biogas (using anaerobic treatment).

Domestic waste in Europe typically includes 25% putrescibles, largely wet organic material such as food and garden wastes. A study in the USA concluded that around 30% of household waste is compostable.
