Abstract
In the conditions of constant deterioration of
the environment, municipal solid waste management
(MSW) in Ukraine remains one of the most pressing
challenges in environmental safety because of its
significant accumulation in landfills and the lack of
effective mechanisms for its disposal. Approximately
40–50 % of municipal solid waste is organic, so the removal of
this part of waste from landfills through composting and
conversion of waste into secondary material resources will
significantly reduce the environmental load on existing and
potentially planned landfills. Therefore, the choice of
promising technologies for the disposal of organic waste
is one of the major tasks to ensure environmental safety.
One of the effective strategies for dealing with excessive
amounts of organic waste and one of the best and most
affordable technologies for the waste recycling system is composting.
