<onlyinclude>'''Densification''' is a mechanical method to compress material with a low density, such as [[garden and park waste]] consisting of small pieces or sawdust, to consistent structures via pressure. Binder agents can be used to increase the cohesion of the particles. Densification overcomes biowaste issues with low densities, a low heating value per unit of volume, high dust levels, and a large variety in physical shapes. The process generally produces pellets or briquettes, which have a lower transportation cost and are easy to handle, which enables industrial processing.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal|title=Treatment technologies for urban solid biowaste to create value products: a review with focus on low- and middle-income settings|year=2017-03|author=Christian Riuji Lohri, Stefan Diener, Imanol Zabaleta, Adeline Mertenat, Christian Zurbrügg|journal=Reviews in Environmental Science and Bio/Technology|volume=16|issue=1|page=81–130|doi=10.1007/s11157-017-9422-5}}</ref> [[Pyrolysis]] and [[torrefaction]] can also be seen as forms of densification.</onlyinclude> | <onlyinclude>'''Densification''' is a mechanical method to compress material with a low density, such as [[garden and park waste]] consisting of small pieces or sawdust, to consistent structures via pressure.
