Résumé

Agricultural recycling of organic waste (OW) derived from urban, agricultural and agroindustrial sources is an essential sustainable development strategy. Yet repeated application of nutrient-laden OW in crop fields can also drastically boost contaminant levels in soil. This review focuses on the consideration of three categories of OW-borne contaminants, namely trace elements, organic contaminants and pathogens (including antibiotic resistance), in environmental assessments, chiefly involving life cycle assessment (LCA) and risk assessment (RA). The in-depth discussion also focuses on gaps between empirical knowledge and the models underlying these frameworks. Potential improvements to fill the identified gaps are proposed, including novel approaches and uses of existing approaches, while also featuring various levels of “readiness.” Finally, a comprehensive theoretical framework to assess OW recycling scenarios, combining complementary approaches and models, is proposed and exemplified.
