PRO.231-Chilling Challenges – ASP Composting in Cold Weather-AC25.USCC

This paper examines the challenges of aerated static pile (ASP) composting at Claystone Waste in Canada’s cold climate, where temperatures fluctuate by over 70°C annually. It explores the effects of cold weather on microbial activity, equipment performance, and moisture management, as well as the need for tailored feedstock strategies. Through field studies and operational analysis, the study provides practical recommendations to optimize ASP composting in extreme conditions, supporting sustainable waste management in northern regions.
