A method and an apparatus for waste processing of mixed waste comprising an organic compostable waste portion and an organic non-compostable waste portion are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a shredder unit for shredding a load of mixed waste, a composting unit providing a microbial environment for composting the food waste portion of the mixed waste load, a heating unit providing a heating environment for heating the inorganic waste portion to a temperature higher than in the composting unit, and a control unit for controlling a moisture level of the mixed waste load in the heating unit. When the target moisture level is reached the shredded, composted and dried mixed waste load is transported to an exit unit for optional further processing as refuse derived fuel.

An Internet of Things (IoT) BIoTower for recycling food wastes into nutrients and for growing organic plants is disclosed which includes a food waste disposable tower for receiving food wastes; a multi-leveled carousels connected to the food waste disposable tower, each containing soils infested with earthworms; and an Internet of Things (IoT) irrigation system designed to provide sustainability to the soils and the organic plants.

Provided is an expandable, modular tower planter having an internal vertical composting capability, and a method of assembling and using the same. Provided in various example embodiments is a modular composting garden container system comprising a base and a plurality of stackable rings forming a tower upon the base, including an optional base ring specially sized, shaped, and positioned to connect the tower to the base. A plurality of perforated, stackable tube sections are provided that are removably assembled into a compost tube assembly of selectable height and mounted within the interior of the tower and above the base. A plurality of holding struts are sized, shaped, and positioned to removably connect the compost tube assembly with the tower and to securely locate the compost tube assembly relative to the tower. Means are provided for recovering nutrient-rich drainage and selective recovery of compost material for reintroduction into the system.

A housing for a worm farm includes a composting cavity that, in use of the housing, is to contain worms, bedding material and/or organic waste, the composting cavity being defined by a floor having openings through which castings can pass, and one or more side walls that extend around the floor. A support structure supports the floor and the side walls above a ground surface. A cover locates on the side walls and extend over the composting cavity, and is movable to enable access to the composting cavity. A castings receptacle is movable between an operative position and at least one displaced position.

Various embodiments are described herein for an apparatus that implements one or methods for producing compost. The method may include receiving waste in a composting apparatus, the waste having a first moisture content; pre-treating the waste to produce pre-treated waste; storing the pre-treated waste into a storage chamber for a pretreatment time period to produce stored waste; and composting the stored waste in a compost chamber to produce a batch of output compost having a second moisture content, wherein the second moisture content is less than the first moisture content.
