Converting sewage waste into compost
- Composting toilet wastes
Description
Converting sewage waste into compost involves processing treated sewage sludge to create nutrient-rich organic material suitable for soil improvement. This strategy addresses the problem of sewage disposal by transforming waste into a valuable resource, reducing landfill use, minimizing environmental pollution, and enhancing soil fertility. Essential actions include dewatering, stabilizing, and composting sludge under controlled conditions to ensure pathogen reduction and safe application, thereby promoting sustainable waste management and resource recovery.
