The infographic illustrates how organic waste is recycled to produce compost. Overall, the process, which lasts up to six months, involves several distinct stages: preparing the container, layering the waste materials, adding a mixture of hot water and nitrogen powder, and allowing the contents to decompose before they are finally used as fertiliser.
To begin with, a plastic container with a capacity of two cubic metres is prepared, and small holes are made on its sides to allow air circulation. The base layer of the container is filled with food waste to a thickness of 15 cm. This is followed by two further layers of equal thickness, made from grass and newspaper respectively. After the layering is complete, a solution of nitrogen powder and hot water is poured into the container to moisten the contents.
The container is then sealed with a lid, and the decomposition process takes place over a period of approximately six months. Once this stage is complete, the resulting compost is ready to be stored and later applied to crops and soil to enhance fertility.
