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.

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.

Waste management is one of the criteria for the evaluation of Green campus and sustainable university. Organic waste takes place in concern because of the domination of waste in university, such as food waste and dry leaves waste. Mismanagement in dry leaves will promote the campus area to look dirty. One method to control the dry leaves waste is the vermicomposting process. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the macronutrient content of dry leaves compost after the vermicomposting process. The research was conducted in the Faculty of Civil engineering and Planning, Universitas Islam Indonesia, Yogyakarta. The vermicompost sample in this study refers to the quality standards according to SNI 19-7030-2004 regarding compost quality standards. The results of vermicompost content value are obtained on day 56 is Phosphor amounting to 0.194%, amounting to 0.129% Potassium, and C / N ratio of 7.73. From the data that has been obtained can be concluded that the results of vermicompost are less effective as organic compost compared to the standards.

Abstract Every week, Indonesia discards approximately 10 million pieces of bread, cakes, and cookies, equating to 292,000 tons of CO2 emissions similar to Indonesia’s annual CO2 emissions. Due to a lack of resources and infrastructure, most impoverished countries rely on antiquated technologies such as anaerobic digestion (AD) to handle food waste. Bakery trash is a biologically formed organic waste that poses a serious threat to public health and the environment, including natural ecosystem contamination. The goal of this study is to find out how much effort Indonesians put into garbage management. How do they spread the word about leftovers through the media? How do they know about waste, particularly bread waste? As well as community-wide corrective steps to protect the environment from domestic food waste management. This study employs a quantitative approach. In order to send 100 questionnaires to persons in Indonesia, purposive sampling was used. Surveys are carried out using Google forms, which require a valid Google email address in order to ensure that each person only takes the survey once. The study’s conclusion is that food waste management efforts among Indonesians are hampered by the public’s lack of understanding of food waste management and disposal information in the media. The research sample understands the process of recycling food into pet food when it becomes garbage, according to their perceptions about the end process of food. In terms of food waste awareness, the majority of the participants in this study were aware that food waste is disposed of in landfills rather than being recycled.

Garbage problem is often very complex in urban areas. The handling pattern of collecting, transporting and disposing that has been applied up to this day has not yet produced an appropriate solution. This is evident from the data of statistic centre institution in 2015 that 76.31% of the existing waste in the community has not been sorted, while 10.28% sorted to be used and 13.41% sorted to be discarded, showing the community amount of unsorted garbage large enough to necessitate managerial efforts at the waste sources. In designing a systematic and structured waste management system, the generations, compositions, and characteristics of the waste are indispensable. Therefore, a research is conducted on these three dimensions to the non-domestic waste in Semarang City, which involves commercial waste (from the markets, restaurants, and hotels), institutional waste (from the offices and schools). From the research result the average of 0,24kgs/person/day in weight unit of the City’s non-domestical waste generation is derived. The waste composition is dominated by organic waste of around 61.95%, while the rest percentage is inorganic. The management policy is directed with the application of Management Information System model based on Information Technology because of the system’s abilities to effectuate the waste management.

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.

ABSTRACTPandesari Village is a village located in the Pujon District, Malang Regency, East Java Province. The agricultural sector with vegetable commodities and dairy farming are business field that dominates the livelihoods of the people in Pandesari Village, so that the potential for organic waste in the form of vegetable waste and cow dung is very high. However, waste management has not been optimal. Based on these problems, a community empowerment system is needed through microbial organic waste processing. The program involved two partners there are Mekarsari VI Farmers Group Gesingan village as the main supplier of agricultural and livestock waste and Pandesari Village Youth Organization as the second partner. The mechanism for the implementation of this service is implemented by adopting a pattern of action research implementation that includes four stages, there are: program planning, program implementation, observation, and reflection. Based on the results, there was an increase in the level of understanding of trainees regarding the principles of making and application of Local Microorganism (LM) in the growing media and organic animal feed. Assistance related to waste management in Pandesari Village has been carried out so that the village can be more independent to manage and process the waste. Labeling and packaging for LM and products from the use of LM, for example in the form of liquid fertilizer, compost, livestock probiotics which are the results of the production of the Village have been carried out but temporarily used for themselves. Keywords : Microbial, Organic, Waste ABSTRAKDesa Pandesari merupakan desa yang terletak di wilayah Kecamatan Pujon, Kabupaten Malang, Propinsi Jawa Timur. Sektor pertanian dengan komoditas sayuran dan peternakan sapi perah merupakan bidang usaha yang mendominasi mata pencaharian penduduk di Desa Pandesari, sehingga potensi limbah organik berupa sampah sayuran dan kotoran sapi sangat tinggi. Kendati demikian pengolahan limbah belum optimal. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut diperlukan sebuah sistem pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui usaha olah limbah organik secara mikrobial. Program ini melibatkan dua mitra yaitu Mitra I adalah Kelompok Tani Mekarsari VI Dusun Gesingan sebagai pemasok utama limbah pertanian dan peternakan dan Mitra II adalah Kelompok Karang Taruna Desa Pandesari. Mekanisme pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian ini diimplementasikan dengan mengadopsi pola pelaksanaan penelitian tindakan meliputi empat tahap, yaitu: perencanaan program, pelaksanaan program, observasi, dan refleksi. Berdasarkan capaian yang telah dihasilkan, terjadi peningkatan tingkat pemahaman peserta pelatihan  terkait prinsip pembuatan dan aplikasi MOL (Mikroorganisme Lokal) pada media tanam dan pakan ternak organik. Pendampingan terkait manajemen kelola sampah di Desa Pandesari telah dilakukan sehingga desa dapat lebih mandiri untu mengelola dan mengolah sampah. Pembuatan label dan kemasan untuk MOL dan produk hasil penggunaan MOL misalnya berupa pupuk cair, kompos, probiotik ternak yang merupakan hasil produksi Desa telah dilakukan namun sementara digunakan untuk kalangan sendiri. Kata Kunci: Limbah, Mikrobial, Organik
