Organic Waste Treatment
Organic waste treatment refers to the process of managing biodegradable materials, such as food scraps, yard waste, and other natural substances. This treatment aims to reduce the volume of waste sent to landfills while recovering valuable resources like compost or biogas. Techniques include composting, anaerobic digestion, and vermiculture, each promoting the breakdown of organic matter through natural processes.
Composting is a popular method where organic waste decomposes in a controlled environment, resulting in nutrient-rich soil. Anaerobic digestion involves microorganisms breaking down organic material in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas that can be used for energy. Both methods contribute to sustainable waste management and environmental health.
