Agricultural recycling technology unveiled: fallen leaves and vegetable waste turned into compost, prunings become green commodities

August 7, 2025 | Central News Agency (CNA) (In Chinese) |  

 

Taiwan’s Taoyuan District Agricultural Research and Extension Station (TYDARES), Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has introduced 3 circular agriculture technologies to turn farm residues into valuable resources. A modular Smart Aeration Composting Device accelerates campus leaf composting, reaching 70°C to kill pathogens and completing the process in 3 months—75% faster than traditional methods, while saving schools transport and fertilizer costs. For farms, a Continuous Aeration Composting System converts vegetable waste into compost within 1.5 months, reducing odors and pests. Meanwhile, a mobile Biochar Furnace with Smoke Collection transforms orchard prunings into biochar for soil improvement or eco-products, while cutting PM2.5 emissions and transport costs. Already adopted by over 20 schools and farms, these innovations integrate recycling with education, promoting cost savings, waste reduction, and progress toward Taiwan’s net-zero goals.
