Abstract:
The disposal of solid waste is one of the major problems faced by fast developing urban areas today. Among all the disposal option of solid waste, Composting can be one of the sustainable solution for waste disposal. Seeing the amount of compost generated through MSW it can be effectively used for agricultural purposes as a replacement for synthetic fertilizer. As synthetic fertilizers do not support microbiological life in the soil and also leads to a negative impact on the environment throughout its lifecycle. Thus, integrated use of synthetic fertilizer along with urban waste compost can be an excellent solution to waste disposal these problems and it would also improve the soil properties. This study focuses on the importance of supplementing synthetic fertilizer with urban waste compost so that it would improve soil properties and analyzing its effect on environment. Life cycle assessment is carried out to predict the impact of integrated use of synthetic fertilizer and urban waste compost on environment.
