How Earth5R’s Decentralized Composting Model Improves Waste Management
Waste management is one of the biggest environmental challenges faced by cities and communities worldwide. Every day, millions of tons of waste are generated, much of which ends up in landfills or incinerators, contributing to pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and health hazards. Overcrowded landfills release methane, a potent greenhouse gas, while improper waste disposal leads to soil and water contamination. Traditional, centralized waste management systems often struggle to handle growing waste volumes efficiently, leading to higher costs and environmental degradation. One promising solution to this crisis is decentralized composting—a method that processes organic waste close to its source, such as in homes, schools, and communities. By converting food scraps and biodegradable waste into nutrient-rich compost, this approach reduces landfill dependence, lowers transportation costs, and enriches soil health. Unlike large-scale composting facilities that require extensive infr...
