Zusammenfassung:	Food residuals make up about 10% of the waste stream nationwide. The potential for food residuals recycling in New Jersey has been developed for animal feeding and composting markets. Case studies illustrate the opportunities in these niches. The direct recycling of organics as pig feed is economically viable. Pelletizing is not yet economically viable, and must remain competitive with market prices for grains and meats. Composting has been promoted in this state largely by one firm and its association with the New Jersey Solid Waste Policy Group.
