What is decomposition, compacting and dewatering

Decomposition is the process by which organic materials break down into simpler substances through the actions of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. This process is crucial for breaking down dead plant and animal matter and recycling nutrients back into the environment.

Compacting is the process of reducing the volume of waste materials by applying pressure or crushing them together. This is often done to make waste easier to transport and to reduce the amount of space it takes up in landfills.

Dewatering is the process of removing water from solid waste or sludge. This is typically done using techniques such as filtration, centrifugation, or drying. Dewatering can help reduce the weight and volume of waste materials, making them easier to handle and dispose of.
