Ecological-economic justification of industrial composting of organic waste

Kuznetsova K. G., Molodkina N. R., Sergienko O. I.

The relevance of the work is due to the lack of a developed infrastructure in Russia for recycling organic waste by composting, including biodegradable packaging materials that can quickly and safely decompose under the influence of microorganisms under controlled conditions to obtain high-quality organic fertilizer. The conditions under which the large-scale use of compostable polymeric materials is environmentally expedient have been determined. The expediency of creating an infrastructure for industrial composting of organic waste, including biodegradable packaging, has been substantiated; On the basis of the performed ecological and economic analysis, it is shown that the most effective option for processing organic waste is the use of closed composting technology in an aerobic bioreactor.
