Biodegradable Waste Management: Sustainable Practices by Revolve Green

In this modern world where every individual is concerned about the state of our planet, it is of prime importance that we educate ourselves about how our waste affects it. Every day, we produce tonnes of waste, a part of which goes into making our planet healthier. But what exactly happens to the waste that we discard everyday?

How can we manage our waste in an manner that is healthy and beneficial for the planet?

Let us discuss Biodegradable waste management and sustainable practices in brief below.

What is Biodegradable Waste?

Biodegradable waste refers to the category of waste that consists of organic matter that can be decomposed into compost by bacteria, fungi, and other biological organisms.

Common Biodegradable Waste Materials

  • Kitchen waste
  • Garden waste
  • paper products
  • textiles
  • bio-plastics

Ways to Manage Biodegradable Waste

Biodegradable waste is commonly disposed off as household waste using plastic garbage bags. However, this practice is extremely harmful to the environment. When biodegradable waste is piled up with other waste inside the garbage bags, it does not decompose leaving behind a large quantity of methane gas, which is a greenhouse gas. Moreover, the plastic garbage bags themselves take ages to decompose leaving behind harmful microplastics in the process.

A sustainable way to make use of biodegradable waste is to participate in a circular economy. Circular economy refers to a framework wherein there is no concept of waste as we reuse every product more than once before recycling them. As a result, no harmful waste enters the ecosystem causing serious harm to the environment. Furthermore, by using the appropriate waste management equipment, we can make sure that biodegradable waste is taken back to the ecosystem in the form of manure. This completes the cycle of a circular economy.
