composting in waste treatment

Composting is a natural process that transforms organic waste, like food scraps and yard waste, into nutrient-rich soil. Microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi break down the materials, releasing valuable nutrients that improve soil health. This process requires proper conditions—air, moisture, and the right temperature—to happen efficiently. Composting helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and produces a sustainable soil amendment for gardening and agriculture. It’s an environmentally friendly way to recycle organic waste and support healthy ecosystems.
