I think there needs a be a different term.

To me "compost" is a decomposing pile of natural materials. Plants, certain types of food waste, animal waste, etc. that anyone can put in their backyard (or scale up to industrial size) to turn waste into nutrient rich soil.

A very specific industrial process that can break down a very specific type of material in just the right circumstances is so completely different that it seems odd to me to share the same name.
