Abstract

Solid waste generation has become one of the major problems throughout the world. Increasingly generation of solid waste cause a problem in managing it. Organic solid waste is a major contribution of this increasing solid waste generated. The composting process is seen one of the best waste management options in managing the organic solid waste produce. Composting is the biological process that using microorganism, which turns the organic solid waste into a valuable product and turns the organic matters back to the soil under controlled conditions. Application of organic additives during composting can accelerate the process by using microorganism to break down the organic matter in organic waste. Environmental product of compost known as bio organic fertilizers could be produce to substitute with chemical fertilizers. The product of compost can be used in agriculture and also can increase soil stability and fertility.
