innovation in the management of municipal solid waste with the use of home composting distributed - residential

摘要

The technical problem faced is the recovery of food waste that, thanks to the composter, are transformed in compost in the place where they are produced, separately and independently from other types of waste, that therefore are better recovered and valued or disposed of with fewer environmental impacts and costs. The vertical composter, integrated in the building and directly related to the uses' home, allows to execute the composting of the organic matrices for the single home or a condominium, reducing the total quantities of produced waste. The most simple version consists in an insulated (2) external pipe (1) and an aereted internal pipe (4) delimitated by a grid or a nonwoven (3) within which are inserted retarders-containers-turning machines (7) that cause the stirring and the stationing to have the degradation reactions of the compostable. The oxigenation is guaranteed by the excess of the rising air in the cavity (5) for chimney effect, ensuring aerobic reactions and healty conditions with exclusive production of compost.
