Abstract

As we know, every year India faces major environmental challenges related to waste generation and inadequate collection of waste, transporting, treatment and disposing it The project aims to study the process of composting and reduce the time required to make compost by use of Effective Micro-organism. The paper reviews on the application of EM-1 in kitchen waste composting. It emphasized on the application of EM-1solution in composting method, the EM-1 properties and therefore the quality of compost with EM-1 in terms of nutrient content. By composting kitchen waste, we are able to preserve resources and produce a valuable by-product which will be used as locally produced fertilizer. The present compost bins are difficult to handle because of foul smell. EM-1 controls the temperature and reduces pathogens within the compost to supply good quality of compost. However, the detailed evaluation is required to evaluate the effect of EM-1 solution compost quality and thus the safety for human well-being.
