I think most municipal waste systems in the U.S. do this. Probably other developed countries too. And they probably do it to a higher standard of safety and not allowing leaching or runoff.

- jrochkind1 2y agoSome municipalities actually have separate stream food waste composting, which is great, but rare. Turning solid waste in sewage into fertilizer is a thing (I don't know if it's most places or not, i think not), but is pretty problematic in how it's done, it's a pretty toxic product. Definitely not the same as a composting toilet. https://missouriindependent.com/2024/08/09/fertilizer-from-human-waste-faces-scrutiny-but-remains-a-profitable-industry/ https://missouriindependent.com/2024/08/09/fertilizer-from-h...
