Among compostable matrices, green wastes represent a significant fraction which can be used as an amendment after composting. Several indicators, e.g. CHA/CFA or C/N ratios give information on evolution of the organic matrix during composting. However, measurement of these parameters is complex and requires laboratory conditions. The aim of this study was to propose on site easy-to-measure parameters to monitor composting process, such as redox potential (Eh), related to complex indices such as CHA/CFA, C/N, A210 nm/A280 nm, NH4+/NO3- ratios, and total organic matter (OM). Windrows were consisting in a mixture of green wastes such as palm, olive, cypress, pine, mimosa, and bay residues. By using covariance analysis, an opposite correlation between Eh and CHA/CFA ratio was found. Linear regression of this parameter with Eh was chosen to monitor the composting process. Therefore, Eh can be used to monitor green wastes composting.
