Overview

Analyzing organic waste properties improves composting practices, indicating necessary waste treatment methods.

Key Points

  • This research investigates the characteristics of organic waste to evaluate its biodegradability potential for compost quality.
  • Measured the volume (11,967±2,528 liters) and weight (1.91±0.4 tons) of organic waste.
  • Analyzed compost characteristics using SNI 19-3964-1994 and UN-Habitat methodologies.
  • Conducted laboratory tests to assess carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (62.07%), moisture content (66.76%), and biodegradability fraction (7.6%).
  • Organic waste composition includes 53% dry leaves, 25% household waste, 17% green manure/grass, and 5% vegetable waste.
  • Values indicate that biodegradability does not meet the composting standards, signaling a need for pre-treatment of waste.
  • Recommended practices include separating green and brown materials and reducing moisture content to enhance composting.
