Food waste from households is generally disposed of by incineration as combustible waste. However, since approximately 80% of food waste is water, incineration requires a large amount of energy and fossil fuels. In the process, carbon dioxide and harmful substances are emitted, contributing to global warming and air pollution.
On the other hand, composting at home allows you to use food waste as a resource rather than just trash. By using the power of microorganisms to decompose and ferment food waste, you can reuse it as nutrient-rich compost, which can be used to improve the soil in your vegetable garden or flower bed.
It also contributes to reducing waste and incineration costs, and some local governments recommend and support composting food waste. It also reduces the use of plastic bags, making it a sustainable initiative that allows you to experience recycling in your daily life.
