-aerobic treatment (composting) and anaerobic treatment (biogas production).+Separately collected organic waste (biowaste) from e.g. households, public garden and park service, food industry, restaurants, canteens and from agriculture can be treated either (i) aerobically (= composting) or (ii) anaerobically (= biogas production).
  
 The aim of the treatment reported under this category is the production of compost, leading to the recycling of nutrients and organic matter. The aim of the treatment reported under this category is the production of compost, leading to the recycling of nutrients and organic matter.
  
 The produced compost is used as fertilizer or soil improver in agriculture or horticulture and also in private gardening.\\ The produced compost is used as fertilizer or soil improver in agriculture or horticulture and also in private gardening.\\

 In Germany about 50% of the organic waste is treated in composting plants and ammonia (NH<sub>3</sub>) is an important emission to air. In Germany about 50% of the organic waste is treated in composting plants and ammonia (NH<sub>3</sub>) is an important emission to air.

In the following year, when the actual activity data for the given year becomes available, they replace the data that were extrapolated. This procedure has only a very small impact on the total emissions in the relevant current report year.+
