Centers for Learning How to Manage Organic Waste Using Earthworm

CENTERS FOR LEARNING HOW TO MANAGE ORGANIC WASTE USING EARTHWORMS —TRANSFERRING KNOWLEDGE TO COMMUNITIES FOR SUSTAINABLE QUALITY OF LIFE AND ENVIRONMENT

“There are two dimensions to the earthworm project. In one, SCG Chemicals will build an earthworm house to eliminate the sludge from our factory. During the first phase, we plan to build a facility which gets rid of 200-300 tons of sludge annually using the earthworm method we studied in our research. It is expected that in 2016 we will have a proper facility. The second dimension concerns the community. SCG Chemicals has a policy to co-exist with the communities sustainably with our 4 core values and concern to social responsibility. We have turned the prototype earthworm house into a center for learning how to recycle organic waste by earthworms. The center has been in service for about 2 years. We have a plan to expand the second house in the center to cater to new forms of research so that when the community members or interested public drop by for a visit they will get to see a variety of earthworm projects.”
