As global waste management challenges grow and the demand for sustainable horticulture increases, green (GW) has emerged as a key resource compost production. However, this kind of (GWC) numerous difficulties when employed directly because its inherent limits. It includes poor bulk density, irregular nutrient content inadequate porosity. This study was to investigate impact various ratios vermicompost (VC; 0%, 10%, 20%) pond sediment (PS; 25%) on GWC their potential use substrates floriculture in order get over these restrictions.

Since 1 January 2024, French local authorities will be required to offer householders a means of recovering biowaste, either as soil improver or an energy source. Several criteria influence their choice: cost, availability operators and equipment, social facilitation, etc. However, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are rarely taken into account in the decision-making process. This article compares four biowaste recovery systems, differentiated by process (composting vermicomposting) management type (community industrial). It is based on carbon footprint method defined Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME). The assumptions emission factors come from two sources: field survey composting vermicomposting companies associations Lyon area review literature GHG decomposition organic matter. processes was determined estimating CO2 equivalent per ton composted biowaste. results show that industrial emits most (CO2). Depending whether biogenic not, ranking other three changes. When account, it has greatest result; hand, when not determines ranking. These discussed relation methodological limitations comparison, options reduction biowaste-related emissions. For example, studying agricultural use compost, balance could refined including avoided production nitrogen fertiliser. environmental assessment only one number (social, economic, agricultural, etc.) waste management.
