  Kuwait imports more than 2 million sheep per year to feed its population. Moreover, Kuwait City produces 3.5 million kg of compostable municipal waste each day. Lastly, Desert Storm and Desert Shield has produced 120 oil lakes that need remediation. These three major environmental factors could be resolved by a simple solution, composting.

The unique climate conditions in Kuwait presented different challenges to composting. This study is the first step in addressing these environmental concerns. This research was divided into 2 sections: 1) classic cement slab composting of dead sheep with microbiology assessment, and 2) Tri-Form Poly Ecodrum® composting of sheep with microbiology assessment. The classic method using the cement slab was modified by .. Read More»
