Composting, A Waste Management Solution

Composting is recognized as a waste management solution. Composting is an evolving solution for solid waste management. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the amount of waste disposed of by composting has quadrupled since 1990, increasing from 2 percent to almost 9 percent of total waste.

Composting, A Waste Management Solution

Only 62 percent of garden pruning is composted. It is now prohibited to throw organic materials such as leaves and grass into landfills.

The biggest problem in this regard is that nearly 70 million tons of solid waste sent to landfills is organic material that cannot be recycled or recovered. This includes garden pruning and food scraps 23 percent and wet and dirty papers 5 percent.

Today, food scraps are by far the largest component of the waste stream in the United States. More than 25 percent of prepared food, that is close to 50 million tons of food waste, is thrown away every year. That's 68 million tons of compostable garbage.

Farmers and gardeners add compost to soil to improve its physical properties. Even just compost can be used instead of soil to grow plants. Mature compost is a stable material with a dark brown or black content called humus and an earthy, earthy odor.

A correct composting process includes:

  • Organic waste, such as discarded food, garden ornaments and fertilizers, must be collected, accumulated, piled up and grouped in the correct proportions.
  • To accelerate the breakdown of organic materials, bulking agents such as sawdust should be added.
  • The finished material must be allowed to fully stabilize and mature by a curing process.
  • High temperatures must be used to destroy pathogens and weed seeds that natural decomposition cannot destroy.

Here are a few benefits of composting:

  • Organic waste in landfills produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas. By composting waste food and other organic matter, methane emissions are significantly reduced.
  • It reduces and in some cases eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers.
  • It promotes higher agricultural product yield.
  • Cost-effectively rehabilitate soils contaminated with hazardous waste.
  • When appropriate, it provides cost savings over traditional soil, water and air pollution remediation technologies.
  • It increases water retention in the soil.
  • Provides carbon retention.
