Gestão de Resíduos Orgânicos de Caroços de Açaí (Euterpe Oleracea) Através da Técnica de Compostagem no Município de Laranjal do Jari- AP

Abstract

This work aims to stimulate and promote the reduction of organic waste through the use of açaí seeds generated by the mixers through the composting technique in the municipality of Laranjal do Jari-AP. Identifying the points of each project, on roads with greater circulation of people, so that we can diagnose how much waste is generated and what is done with them after pulping. To make this study feasible, visits were made to 25 whisks located in the neighborhoods: Agreste, Centro, Malvinas, Santarém, Cajari and Castanheira, with interviews and a questionnaire. Through the results obtained it was possible to verify that there is a weekly generation of 321.45 kg of waste in each mixer, a very significant amount in which the remaining biomass can be directed to composting, and thus produce a nutrient-rich fertilizer that can be used in plantations and in family farming, which is a predominant activity in the region, in addition to being another alternative to generate profits and further promote the regional economy with the sale of this fertilizer. Closing the life cycle of this productive chain, which is so important for the Amazon region.
