The purpose of this thesis is to identify possible treatment approaches that could be adopted and implemented in Shiraz (IRAN), for sustainable organic waste management. This work consists of five phases: evaluation of the current situation in the study area, mapping the state-of-the-knowledge in the field of organic waste treatment in Germany, assessment of the compost derived from mixed and source-separated waste streams, adapting sustainable concepts that are applicable to addressing the whole supply chain and examining the approaches to provide the ideal conditions during dry seasons.<eng>
