PROCESS AND SYSTEM FOR VERMICOMPOSTING OF PAPER WASTE AND PHYTOWASTE

摘要

A process for vermicomposting and a system (10) that can be used for vermicomposting are disclosed. The system (10) for vermicomposting includes a vermi reactor unit (100) that has a bio support matrix (110). The bio support matrix (110) includes a plurality of rough-surfaced spheres (112) that are arranged at regular intervals and interconnected with bridges (114). The bio support matrix (110) is configured to support a vermicast bed (120) and a mixture of paper waste and phytowaste over the vermicast bed (120). The process includes forming a vermicast bed (120) around a bio support matrix (110) in a vermi reactor unit (100) and processing a mixture of paper waste and phytowaste over the vermicast bed (120) in the vermi reactor unit (100) to form a vermicompost. The vermicast bed (120) includes vermicast, earthworms, and mini crustaceans of genus Porcellio or genus Trachelipus.
