10 examples of organic waste
We know as organic waste all those compounds from industrial, commercial or domestic activity that are no longer useful for people, but which, even in a state of decomposition or used, are biodegradable and reusable.
The most frequent uses that are given to all the organic compounds that are set aside, are generally destined to the fertilization of plants or the feeding of livestock. In many countries, the use of bags, garbage cans or assigned spaces that classify this type of waste is implemented, and where it can be deposited in order to obtain other benefits from that material.
