[[Composting]] is a form of [[Aerobic Digestion]]. It is a natural process where organic matter typically [[Green Waste]] and [[Food Waste]] is broken down into a nutrient rich ‘compost’ by various micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi, insects and worms. The resultant product ‘compost’ is a nutrient and microbe rich material which can be spread or added to land/soil to be used in place of a synthetic fertiliser. | |||
Composting also allows [[Waste Collection Authority|Waste Collection Authorities]] to divert organic waste away from landfill, helping them to meet landfill diversion targets for [[Biodegradable Municipal Waste]]. | Composting also allows [[Waste Collection Authority|Waste Collection Authorities]] to divert organic waste away from landfill, helping them to meet landfill diversion targets for [[Biodegradable Municipal Waste]]. | ||
