Municipal solid waste (MSW) consists of several fractions which respond differently to biological degradation when they are discharged into the environment or in a landfill. This paper discusses the results of experiments and suggests the reasons why individual fractions are more or less biodegrad able.

Key Words: Biodegradability • Sturm test • organic fraction of municipal solid waste
