Composting helps reduce food waste, making it an easy solution for recycling waste generated in our homes.
One of the alternatives to reduce the increase in waste in landfills is to recycle it through composting, a technique that transforms organic waste into fertilizer for plants. According to the Institute of Applied Economic Research, more than half of all the waste we produce at home is organic, that is, fruit and vegetable peels and other food waste, such as coffee grounds, etc.
The biggest advantage of this technique is that it can be done at home by anyone who is interested in setting up their own vegetable garden or who already has a variety of plants at home. The fertilizer generated provides, through the chemical-biological process of decomposition, a range of essential nutrients and faster and healthier growth of the vegetables.
