Composting is the biodegradation of organic matter by microorganisms under controlled, aerobic conditions into a relatively stable humus-like material called compost.
Composting can take place in many different ways, using a variety of materials, methods, equipment and scales of operation. For agricultural processes, common materials or raw materials that are composted are animal manures and bedding, and various residual plant materials (hay, scrap, on-farm processing waste, etc.).
Composting is much more than aging manure - it's a science. Decomposition takes place in a well-managed process to achieve certain positive results – a valuable product – with minimal negative environmental impacts.
The nutrient content of the compost will be quite different from the manure and other raw materials that go into the mix. As the water evaporates, the carbon is broken down and lost as carbon dioxide, the compost volume decreases and most of the phosphorus and other nutrients become more concentrated.
During composting, some nitrogen will be lost and some will be converted from ready-made forms (nitrate and ammonia) to more stable organic forms that are gradually released into products. It is estimated that less than 15% of the nitrogen in the compost (applied to the soil) will be released in the first crop year compared to 50-60% for uncomposted milk manure.
The finished volume of compost is usually 40-60% of the original compost feedstock volume. Composting reduces the volume to be processed and transported to the site use site. It also concentrates many nutrients in the compost material compared to their concentration in the original materials. Well-managed compost reduces odors and runoff moisture to reduce potential environmental hazards.
Our organization provides very different certification services for businesses in various sectors and carries out the necessary testing, analysis, control and evaluation activities within this framework. In these works, it always follows domestic and foreign standards, applicable legal regulations and generally accepted practices.
Our organization has a trained and experienced staff and advanced technological facilities. In this framework, it also provides compost certification and C-Label (Compost Labeling) compost labeling services to businesses that request it.
