The organic amendment compost brings many important benefits to the soil:
- Contribution of organic matter, biofertility, improvement of structure and water retention, etc.
- Carbon sequestration in the soil, therefore, increases the potential of the soil as a carbon sink. The continued incorporation of organic matter in the soil, means that the level of organic carbon is stabilized at higher levels in relation to that existing at the beginning of applications.
- Reduction of erosion and degradation of the soil, contribution to avoid or reverse desertification processes.
- Substitution of chemical fertilizers and / or other organic amendments that entail environmental benefits due to energy savings and emissions, as well as economic.
The physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the compost allow this material to be used in different fields and activities obtaining very positive results:
- As a natural fertilizer in extensive and organic farming (cereals, vegetable garden, fruit growing, grapevine, etc.).
- As a fertilizer in gardening, both public and private, and in the formulation of substrates.
- As an element to restore degraded soils in public works projects (closure of landfills, slope regeneration, etc.) or in the restoration of extractive activities.
From ASOBIOCOM compostability is promoted as a complementary way to existing ones. Organic matter is a very important part of waste. Your aerobic treatment can allow you to obtain a quality compost that can be used as fertilizer in agriculture.
In this sense, the BioCom are an extraordinary aid to enhance this route, since without any separation or prior treatment they can go along with the organic to an industrial composting plant to be transformed into compost.
To be suitable for composting, products and materials must meet the strict criteria of the European standard EN 13432 on industrial compostability. After certification, these products and materials can be advertised and labeled as compostable. To see the logos that identify compostability according to this standard .
