My main expertise lies in optimising aerobic bioprocesses, particularly composting, to efficiently transform organic residues into stable, mature amendments that can serve as effective alternatives to peat and synthetic fertilisers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">A key focus of my work is assessing the agronomic value of the resulting compost, in terms of nutrient content, organic matter quality, maturity, and stability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">I also investigate emissions released during the composting process and carry out detailed mass balance studies using the COMPOSTER, a lab-scale pilot plant that I helped design and build in-house at ISAFOM-PG, and which has been widely validated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">In parallel, I conduct studies on the ultimate biodegradability and compost ability of bioplastics and plastic items, both in compost and in soil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">These are carried out using BIODEG, another lab-scale device I developed and validated according to European standards (UNI EN ISO 13432, 14855-1, 17556, 14045).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">My recent activities include designing simplified and cost-effective composting strategies, such as the SANSOIL method, for the bioremediation of olive mill waste.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">I've worked extensively on optimising composting processes for a wide variety of organic waste, crop residues, pruning waste, frass, livestock manure, and digestates using the COMPOSTER system, with an eye towards scaling up to larger pilot applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">I'm particularly interested in the role of biochar and zeolites in co-composting systems, as they can reduce undesirable emissions (such as ammonia and VOCs) and improve the final compost's agronomic quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">I also assist companies in designing new bioplastics that comply with European compost ability standards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Most recently, I've been working on the formulation of customs, peat-free growth media based on compost and zeolites for use in high-value nursery crops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">These media are tailored for enhanced plant performance and may exhibit suppressive effects against soil-borne pathogens, contributing to more sustainable and resilient horticultural systems<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/isafom.cnr.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Roberto_Altieri_CV.pdf\">CV Altieri<\/a><\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First Researcher Ph.D. in Agricultural Chemistry e-mail CNR Skype: roberto.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":40,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","category-personale"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
