Challenges
According to the Moroccan Ministry of the Environment, the quantity of waste produced in Morocco currently reaches 5.5 million tons of organic waste per year in urban areas. This organic waste presents significant economic potential that is underutilized due to a lack of waste management actions and a lack of a national waste management policy.
Solutions
Lombrisol repurposes local organic waste into compost and fertilizer. The innovator has developed an economical and sustainable ecological solution for the treatment and recovery of organic waste by offering vermicomposting. A decomposition process that involves earthworms and microorganisms, vermicomposting can produce biofertilizers for sustainable and organic agriculture.
