Abstract

Composting is a process of decomposition of organic matter by various microorganisms that help process of overhauling organic matter, resulting in changes in both structure and texture. Composting occurs naturally with a long process, bioactive ingredients such as bioactivator MOL and ecoenzym are needed. Bioactivator MOL and ecoenzyme are microorganisms made from natural ingredients such as fruits and vegetables and as a medium for developing microorganisms that can accelerate the composting process. The purpose of this study is to analyze the comparison of composting between the addition of ecoenzymes and mole bioactivator based on the parameters of pH, temperature, and water content. Study carriedout for one year using the experimental method. Samples in the form of organic waste with the addition of bioactivator MOL and ecoenzyme stored in wooden storage. The results to be achieved from this research are the effectiveness level of the addition bioactivator MOL and econzym in organic composting, as well as providing solutions from various existing composting methods.
