Abstract

Large-scale solid waste creation is an eco-tech concern. Population expansion, industrialisation, and a shift in lifestyle are making solid waste management a global challenge. Vermicomposting is a novel eco-technology that turns trash into biodegradable material, including food scraps. This strategy may be eco-friendly for trash disposal. This granular, stabilized humus-like product restores organic matter to agricultural soils. Vermicomposting technology uses non-toxic, organic industrial waste. Vermicomposting technology is utilized for industrial waste and sludge management and land restoration. The process's efficacy depends on the source material, pH, temperature, moisture, aeration, vermicomposting system, and earthworm species. The assessment discusses new technology's industry benefits.
