The former activities page recorded 136 delegates from 26 countries at the Rennes meeting in May 1998. Its theme was management strategies for organic-waste use in agriculture, and its programme divided the discussion among management, agronomic value, gaseous emissions, processing and environmental impacts.

The historical account listed legislation and good practice, air and water pollution, waste handling, land spreading and transfer of technologies among its topics. This widened the conversation from individual research results to the practical conditions for use.
