Green waste composting: a systematic review of technological innovations, parameter optimization, and product applications
摘要
Green waste is an important byproduct of urban greening development, characterized by its rich organic matter and nutrient content, with high lignocellulose content being a distinctive feature. Traditional disposal methods (such as landfilling and incineration) often lead to nutrient loss and environmental risks. This study comprehensively evaluates various composting technologies for landscape waste resource utilization, including aerobic composting, two-stage composting, vermicomposting, and membrane composting, with a focus on elucidating their underlying mechanisms. The effects of key process parameters—such as aeration strategy, particle size, moisture content, pH, C/N, and additives—on composting performance were systematically investigated. Furthermore, the potential for value-added agricultural applications of compost products was explored. The findings of this study provide technical guidance for improving the resource utilization efficiency of green waste, reducing environmental risks, and promoting its sustainable management.
