Why is composting important for waste management ?
Composting plays a crucial role in sustainable waste management, and at Green Aqua Technologies , we emphasize its importance for both environmental and economic reasons. Composting is the process of decomposing organic waste—such as food scraps, yard trimmings, and agricultural residues—into nutrient-rich compost. This natural recycling method offers several benefits that align with modern waste management goals. Key Reasons Why Composting is Important: 1. Reduces Landfill Waste: Organic waste constitutes a large percentage of the total waste that ends up in landfills. Composting significantly reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills, helping to minimize landfill overflow and reduce the environmental hazards associated with landfill emissions. 2. Decreases Methane Emissions: When organic waste decomposes anaerobically (without oxygen) in landfills, it produces methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Composting,...
