Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9845229A1] A process for the production of recycled material from organic waste wherein the organic waste is used as feed for earthworms such that the recycled material is produced by the earthworms as castings, wherein the feeding conditions for the earthworms are maintained such that at least part of the castings is produced in liquid form. The earthworms can be maintained in a substantially closed vessel, in a bed of said organic waste in the vessel. The bed of organic waste may have at least an upper layer substantially in the range 2 to 3 centimetres in depth, and may be provided in an oxygen rich atmosphere. The vessel may also include means for collecting the liquid castings.
