With the Indian Government engaging in stricter environmental, industrial, and waste management laws together with a growing awareness in citizens, the responsibility of managing waste has shifted to the one who generates it. Over 60 percent of what we put in our landfills is organic waste that can actually be recycled by composting. Yet, composting at an individual, community or corporate level doesn’t find many buyers for various valid and invalid reasons – urban homes and flats don’t have space for traditional composting e.g. compost pits; fear of odour & unhygienic conditions that composting may produce; it being a time consuming activity and the mindset that waste management is really the municipality’s job! The truth, however, is that composting can be simplified and done by each of us.

Natural Composting is nature’s way of recycling its organic wastes such as food waste, leaves, grass trimmings, feathers, etc. In this natural process, various microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, break down organic matter into simpler substances and eventually turn it into a valuable organic fertilizer, which ...
... the gardeners fondly call “Black Gold”. However, as in case of any other natural process, the rate and effectiveness of the composting process is dependent upon the environmental conditions present i.e. oxygen, temperature, moisture, material disturbance, organic matter and the size and activity of microbial populations and can thus take anything between 30-45 days in ideal conditions.

Now, thanks to advancement of technology, there are new-age composting machines that are both effective & efficient in composting organic waste generated by homes, hotels and offices. These machines can be installed within the premises and make the process hassle-free and clean. These machines thus debunk the mindset that one needs space and time to compost.
