Article Synopsis
- Composting is an eco-friendly way to manage biodegradable waste, which makes up almost half of municipal solid waste (MSW), and can be improved by adding char from MSW pyrolysis.
- The study tested different amounts of MSW char (0%, 2.5%, and 5%) on vegetable waste compost, revealing that higher char levels led to better thermophilic temperatures, nutrient availability, and overall compost quality.
- The results showed significant improvements in nutrient concentrations and reductions in volatile solids and heavy metals, especially with 5% char, demonstrating that using MSW char in composting enhances sustainability in waste management.
