Abstract Cattle Farm should not only be focusing on increasing productivity and maximizing profit but also on the environmental issue that happens around it. Recycling the waste and turning it into fertilizer is an excellent method of waste management. Effective and efficient organic waste management also provides great benefits for humans. One method that can be used is by using the vermicomposting method using Lumbricus rubellus earthworm inside a bamboo reactor. In this research there are two bamboo reactors are used, Reactor A contains a mixture of cow dung and rice straw, and Reactor B containing cow manure only. Physical parameters that were observed are moisture content, pH, temperature, color, and odor. The data were taken around weeks 0, 2, 4, and 6. It shows that the composts have water content values over 50%, pH values between 6-9, temperatures of <30 ° C, blackish in color, and an odor that resembles the smell of soil. From the four parameters examined, only the water content did not fulfill the SNI 19-7030-2004 requirement about the standard of compost quality, however water content can be controlled by drying.

Abstract In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, there are about 9 thousand tons of domestic waste every day and 73% of them are treated by using landfill sites [2]. With the population growth rate in recent years, the generated waste volume will then increase in the future and is estimated to reach a total of around 13 thousand tons that could cost Ho Chi Minh City about 260 thousand dollars in treating this waste in 2025 [3]. Although this treatment method is not without advantages, the downsides will be far more significant. Moreover, in recent years, the cultivation of Perionyx Excavatus, a species that had been reported to have the ability to treat organic waste in some foreign articles, has become increasingly popular in Vietnam. So, this research was aimed to evaluate the potentiality of Earthworm (Perionyx Excavatus) for food waste management of households in Lab-scale in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. According to this study, the average outdoor humidity and temperature of Ho Chi Minh City are higher than optimal conditions to raise Earthworm. In addition, the percentage of biomass is highest when rising the proportion of food waste and cow dung 4:6, respectively. It’s a point for encourage the applying Earthworm (Perionyx Excavatus) for food waste management in Ho Chi Minh.

Organic waste that produced in The Polytechnic Health Yogyakarta campus has not been processed and just disposed to Piyungan Landfill. To recycle the organic waste is required engineering technology that can produce compost quickly. Electrical Rotating Aerobic Composter (ERAC) is an aerobic powered electric composter model that is designed to rotate continuously for maintaining the stability of environmental factors (oxygen, temperature, humidity) and the homogeneity of processed organic matter. This study aims to determine effect and effectiveness of rotation speed of the ERAC on duration and quality of compost. This research is an experiment with Post-Test Design Only with Control Group Design. The sample of this research is organic waste that taken by proportionate stratified random sampling in The  Polytechnic Health Yogyakarta campus.  The composition of organic materials filled in the ERAC consist of 1 part organic waste from the canteen, 1 part of the yard / garden waste, 1 part of cattle manure and 5% active bioactivator. Rotation speed of the ERAC was set with variations: A = 0.20 rpm; B = 0.10 rpm; C = 0.05 rpm; K = 0.00 rpm (control). Each treatment was repeated 3 times and monitored daily until compost was formed. Compost samples are sent and checked for quality in the laboratory. Based on the physical parameters (temperature, color, texture and smell) of compost, showed that ERAC is able to process organic waste into compost within 7 days or four times faster than control (28 days). However, the variation of rotation speed was not significantly affect duration of composting. The quality of compost that produced by ERAC has fulfilled SNI No. 19-7030-2004 including  C/N ratio, water content, N, P, K and C-organic. The compost quality according to rotation speed of the ERAC (0,20 rpm; 0,10 rpm; 0, 05 rpm, control (0.00 rpm))  respectively are: C / N ratio (19,83,19,84,19,95,19,90); water content (11,36%; 10,81%; 10,83%; 10,97%); N (1.00%; 1.06%; 1.11%; 1,024%); P (0,57%; 0,60%; 0,58%; 0,64%); K (1.37%; 1.32%; 1.30%; 1.28%); C-organic (19.69%; 20,99%; 21,90%; 20,18%).The result of statistical analysis with Kruskal Wallis test with SPPS program version 16 showed that water content, N, P, C-organic and C / N ratio between the three variations of rotation speed of ERAC is not significantly different, except K level. But when it was associated with workload of the ERAC engine, the lowest rotation speed (0.05 rpm) is the most effective.

Market waste is the second largest waste after household waste. Vegetable and fruit waste is the largest organic waste that comes from market waste. Various waste management efforts have been carried out by the government and the community, but have not completely resolved the waste problem. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of market organic waste processing using an earthworm reactor (Lumbricus rubellus) with a modified Continuous Flow Bin method on cocoon production, biomass, and exmecat. This study used an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD), with three treatments of a continuous flow bin modified three types of mixed media materials to increase cocoon production, biomass, and exmecat quality. The results showed that the type of reactor had a significant effect (P ≤ 0.05) on cocoon production, the amount of biomass, biomass weight, broodstock mortality, exmecat production, media temperature, and media humidity, but had no effect on media pH. The use of reactor 2 (R2) with a mixture of 50% horse feces + 50% rice straw + feed 50 grams / day / nest box for market organic waste is the best reactor compared to reactor 1 (R1) and reactor 3 (R3). The amount of organic waste that can be processed by earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus) either as a medium or as feed is an average of 4.35 kg / nest box for 40 days of cultivation with a stocking density of 25 grams of earthworms / nest box. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the ability of earthworms (Lumbricus rubellus) to process market organic waste using the modified Continuous Flow Bin method can reach 4.35 times their body weight / day. Thus, this waste processing method can be a complete solution to solving market organic waste management problems.

AbstractProcessing organic waste using black soldier fly (BSF)-based technology offers a promising alternative for sustainable organic waste management and urban sanitation. This study was conducted to assess the influence of feeding strategies on the efficacy of BSF larvae to recycle organic wastes into value products. Fruit waste and chicken manure were used as organic waste samples while commercial chicken feed was used as a control, and were processed for 15 days in circular plastic containers (Ø 30 × 12 cm) with 50; 100; 150; and 200 mg/larva/day continuous and batch feeding diets, using 500 four-day-old larvae per diet, repeated four times. Larval survival rates were not significantly affected by the feeding strategies. However, average larval biomass of 83.69 ± 13.04 g and 82.46 ± 08.52 g was achieved for the continuous and batch feeding strategies, respectively, under favorable conditions. Larval feed reduction rates ranged from 24.65 ± 03.48% to 72.78 ± 01.48% and 24.52 ± 0.27% to 72.25 ± 12.13% with continuous and batch feeding strategies, respectively, and were significantly affected by the different daily diets. On the other hand, the bioconversion rates ranged from 13.34 ± 0.26% to 50.82 ± 02.27%, and the highest values were observed with the continuous feeding diets. This study confirms the efficacy of BSF larvae to thrive in different organic substrates and shows that the continuous feeding strategy can be better and enhance a sustainable small-scale organic waste management.

North America is a big consumer and consequently a big producer of waste. For the purpose of this project, we were primarily interested in collecting information in North America, focusing on Quebec primarily. The main research question was risen up during the fieldwork and assistance with the Canadian company. It clearly presents the enterprise readiness for obtaining a smart solution on organic/food waste problem. It is believed, how organic/food waste can be a resource of a high value. There is a capacity of creating a new path, where organic/food waste could become the important as plant/field nutrient supply. The circular approach to organic waste management is urgently needed in a way how the organic waste should be reduced and returned as productive resource input into our economy. The paper presents a new value towards a sustainability process that Canada is building at the moment. It represents the innovative approach, which is highly accepted in some cities in Quebec with the obtained pilot projects and excellent results. This paper is not only a simple research paper, but it is also the very important original innovative document which can be highly used on the level of each municipality, region and federal level.
