1. 5 Treatment time This is the index on the treatment speed of organic wastes It is the time from the start of processing after standard test organic wastes are filled into the system to the end of the process With the dry type it is the time until the designed dry rate is achieved or the operating time that can be preset using a timer With the biological type it is the operating time until the state in which the form of the standard test organic waste is no longer identifiable is achieved However the treatment time of the biological composting varies diversely according to the type of organic waste composition size and freshness In actual use as the organic waste can be filled into the system over a long period of time until the time of replacement of the base material the length of the treatment time is insignificant Consequently the treatment time for standard test organic wastes is merely a reference for processing speed and should be treated carefully If the length of the treatment time is at issue in the biological system the type composition size and freshness of the organic waste shall be clearly indicated for instance Treatment time of boiled cabbage center measuring 3 cm in size is three days From these reasons it is appropriate to indicate the processing speed per time for the dry type and the standard processing quantity per day for the biological type 6 Noise 1 Noise generated during the operation of2. compost To reuse as compost 1 16 it needs to be processed an additional time Consequently in order to reduce the volume of organic wastes it is important to reduce wastes as well as perform interim process for effective reuse In addition since the composting system may reduce energy consumption during garbage incineration it was decided that the scope of application of composting systems would be reset the reduction and reuse of organic wastes promoted and the supply of information on organic waste volume reduction enhanced To evaluate the product life cycle the environment load resulting in the manufacture and usage of the composting system was reviewed and the appropriate certification criteria were established 2 Applicable Scope Garbage disposers of biological type or dry type designed to decompose organic wastes at home and those which use energy such as electricity Collective compost containers used in housing complexes are excluded 3 Terminology Biological type Method of decomposing organic wastes using microorganisms in aerobic conditions to reduce volume Dry type Method of drying organic wastes using energy such as electricity to reduce volume Home garbage Biological and dry disposing systems designed for home disposer disposal of organic wastes These use energy like electricity and exclude collective garbage disposers found in housing complexes Base material Made of multi porous wood pulp or oth
