In order to contribute to the solution of the correct destination of organic waste in line with the national solid waste policy (PNRS - Law nº 12.305/10 and CETESB Nº 126/2021/P), Sofien will manufacture and sell composting implements with specific rotors to work in the composting of different wastes, using numerical methods to develop their products. As a proof of concept in Fapesp's Pha…
Brazil produces from 1.0 to 1.2 kg of solid household waste per inhabitant/day, with humidity between 40 and 50% with a density of 1,000 to 1,300 kg m-³. 80% of solid household waste is food waste, resulting in a 40% organic matter product plus some chemical compounds. The management of this compound is a complex and high energy demand activity, which, when poorly executed, can compromise…
