Abstract

The best method to treat food waste is composting but it is still unnoticeable because it is hard to monitor and a longer time is needed to complete it. The focus in this research is to enhance process and reduce time during composting. The final product which is compost can be used as a fertiliser or as a soil amendment. The collected food waste will undergo pre-treatment steps before starting the process. Throughout the process, the food waste will be stirred for three days. Data for moisture content, pH and temperature will be recorded. Temperature below 20°C, pH between 6-8 and moisture content between 30%-70% indicates that the compost is matured, meaning it is stable for use. Research about systematic method to treat food waste is crucial because it will lessen the food waste quantity dispose in landfill. And thus, protect the environment.
