A Tailored Solution for Organic Waste
Organic waste from agro-food industries, markets, restaurants, and green spaces represents a significant portion of overall waste. When poorly managed, it can cause nuisances such as odors, insect proliferation, and leachate production.
CEGEDI implements a controlled composting process that allows us to:
- Stabilize organic matter
- Eliminate pathogens
- Produce a safe and fertile final product
Composting at CEGEDI
Composting is carried out in dedicated areas on CEGEDI sites. The process follows several steps:
- Sorting and preparing organic waste (excluding plastics and non-biodegradable materials)
- Shredding and mixing with structural materials (dry leaves, wood chips)
- Aerobic fermentation in windrows or bins, with regular turning
- Maturation to stabilize the compost and improve its quality
- Sieving and packaging of the finished product
Throughout the process, temperature, humidity, and aeration are monitored to ensure high-quality compost that meets agricultural standards.
A Natural Fertilizer for Agriculture
The compost produced by CEGEDI is a nutrient-rich organic amendment (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), ideal for:
- Enriching agricultural soils
- Reducing the use of chemical fertilizers
- Improving soil water retention
- Stimulating crop growth
This compost can be made available to agricultural cooperatives, local communities, and environmental projects, contributing to the promotion of sustainable agriculture in Guinea.
A Positive Environmental Impact
Composting not only reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills but also helps limit greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane. It provides a clean, local, and economical alternative to the disposal of organic waste.
