Abstract

A biological degradation process for the treatment of organic containing waste-matter for producing a waste-matter sludge material, the process containing a step for contacting microorganisms with the organic-containing waste matter, which comprises adding to said step a microbial activity-enhancing concentration of a mineral composite consisting essentially of glacial deposit. Other mineral composites may also be used. The invention also relates to an improved waste-matter sludge material.
