"Enhanced Composting And Eco-Restoration: Dhanbad's Municipal Waste Utilization"

Abstract

This paper investigates the utilization of municipal waste through advanced composting techniques to facilitate eco-restoration, with a specific focus on addressing the challenges of municipal waste management in Dhanbad. The study encompasses the quantification of compostable waste fractions and subsequent composition analysis, alongside an examination of the effects of compost application on plant growth and germination. Methodologically, various composting techniques are employed, followed by the utilization of compost derived from municipal waste, and the evaluation of plant growth parameters. The results obtained highlight notable enhancements in plant growth and germination rates when utilizing compost derived from municipal waste. Additionally, the discussion underscores the significance of adopting a circular economy approach, emphasizing the benefits of CO2 sequestration associated with compost application in eco-restoration efforts. Ultimately, the conclusion underscores the effectiveness of this method in both waste utilization and eco-restoration endeavours, thereby showcasing its potential for addressing pressing environmental concerns.
