Making Vermicompost from Kitchen Waste with Vermicomposting Technology

Abstract

Rapid urbanization, industrialization, technological development, and population growth have created serious problems with rising solid waste generation, and managing such enormous amounts of waste is becoming increasingly difficult. Each year, more than one billion tonnes of solid trash are produced, and they end up unscientifically in the environment, creating costs for society, the economy, and the ecosystem. The proper management of this massive volume of garbage presents significant difficulties for humanity. Researchers from all over the world are looking for fresh, cutting-edge, and environmentally sustainable waste management technology. Biological approaches are more suited for waste treatment since they can be economical and recycle different waste components into useful end products. One such efficient biological waste management technique is vermicomposting, which uses bacteria to help earthworms break down garbage. Vermicomposting is a naturally occurring bio-oxidative decomposition process that takes place in mesophilic environments and is further facilitated by the biochemical activity of microorganisms.
