A importância da compostagem dos resíduos orgânicos gerado em ambiente doméstico

Abstract

The study addresses the relationship between waste, consumption and absence of attenuate practices of the problem caused by improper disposal of solid waste. Thus, composting of organic waste becomes an action that brings numerous benefits to society, generating energy and soil organic fertilization. The objective of the study is to investigate the feasibility of composting of household waste as environmental preservation tool in residence, the specific objectives are to conduct qualitative research on methods of organic household waste composting, analyze the production cycle of organic waste, check the quantity and waste quality, identify techniques and duration of home composting and perform residence case study demonstrating the practical feasibility of composting of household organic waste. The descriptive research experimental nature conducted to collect data from a trial separation of organic waste from a residence that generates 1 kg of waste daily. They identified the components rich in nitrogen mixed with plant residues rich in carbon generating organic compost for fertilizer within sixty days. The physicochemical analysis of the compound was carried out in Nucleotec located in the Laboratory Itamaraty Garden in Foz do Iguaçu. The study showed that it is feasible and appropriate to develop this environmental action, practice has shown that care are exaggerated not requiring no knowledge, is to select only organic fat-free or lactose and mix worms for fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and fertilizing plants in the home.
