Focus on Hong Kong Immigration and Hong Kong Technology Development: Hong Kong Baptist University has developed a new composting biological treatment technology to address the odor problem during the processing of food waste (an organic waste).
The Environmental Applications Research Center and the Department of Biology at Baptist University have developed a new food waste composting biological treatment technology to reduce the odor problem of food waste and increase compost nutrients. The new composting technology alleviates the acidification problem of food waste compost by adding alkaline reagents, shortening the composting time from 7 to 9 weeks to 5 to 6 weeks.
Baptist University utilizes this new composting technology by setting up two food waste machines on campus, and by adding zeolite and fats to reduce bacteria, converting the daily food waste from the cafeteria into high-quality organic fertilizer that meets standards within 28 days.
