Question

What is a common method to reuse organic waste from homes and restaurants?

Options

• Composting to create nutrient-rich soil

• Incinerating the waste

• Packaging the waste for landfill disposal

• Diluting and releasing the waste into water bodies

Answer 1

Composting to create nutrient-rich soil

Explanation:

Composting is the aerobic decomposition of organic wastes by microorganisms that converts kitchen and restaurant scraps into humus or bio‑manure, enriching soil and reducing landfill volume. Incineration and dumping are generally less appropriate for routine organic food waste because they either destroy the resource or create pollution.
