Composting is a natural process that transforms organic waste into nutrient-rich soil. In the circular economy, composting is a key strategy for reducing waste, conserving resources, and promoting sustainability.
The Science of Composting
Composting involves the breakdown of organic materials by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. These microorganisms consume the organic waste and produce a nutrient-rich compost that can be used to improve soil quality and promote plant growth.
