A compostagem como forma de reaproveitamento dos resíduos orgânicos: um guia prático com propostas alternativas

Abstract

Due to the high production and disposal of organic waste, which is often discarded incorrectly and has a low recycling rate, this work aimed to develop a practical composting guide, using accessible language to educate the population about different composting models. The methodology consisted of a literature review on ten composting methods, of which five were produced and tested. The production of these different types of composting allowed the evaluation of aspects such as practicality, cost-effectiveness, and maintenance. As a result, a practical guide was created with a simple and direct approach, aiming to provide accessible information on composting. This work makes a direct contribution to environmental education, with composting being presented as a viable alternative for this purpose.
