The indiscriminate extraction of natural resources as raw materials for consumer goods has brought about changes in both ecosystems and lifestyles. The waste products from these activities began to change the environment, contaminating rivers, soil, and the air.The migration of humans to population centers along with the population explosion led to more and more waste. To solve these problems alternatives in waste management have been developed, such as recycling. Of all the waste we generate, approximately 30% is organic, which can be recycled by using it as raw materials for organic compost.
There are two methods or techniques for the management of organic waste: Composting (either aerobic or anaerobic) and Vermiculture, also known as Worm-Composting.
