00:00:00 - 00:00:00

The YouTube video "Brasília é a cidade que mais produz adubo derivado de lixo orgânico no Brasil" highlights Brasília's prominent position in producing organic waste-derived fertilizer in Brazil. Most of the waste comes from domestic sources collected by the Federal District's urban cleaning service. Annually, 25,000 tonnes of fertilizer are produced, with the majority donated to small farmers and the rest sold at affordable prices. This initiative aims to increase production to 90-100,000 tonnes per year. The composting process includes sorting waste, separating recyclables, and turning organic matter into a fine powder through triturating and maturation. This fertilizer replaces both organic and chemical alternatives, saving farmers money and reducing environmental impacts from landfills. The controlled landfill in Jockey handles 400-600 tonnes of waste daily, with the initial stage involving separating recyclables and triturating organic matter before maturation and screening to produce the final fertilizer powder.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Brasília é a cidade que mais produz adubo derivado de lixo orgânico no Brasil" (Brasília is the city that produces the most organic waste-derived fertilizer in Brazil), the focus is on Brasília's leading role in producing organic waste-derived fertilizer in the country. The majority of the material comes from domestic waste collected by the urban cleaning service of the Federal District. Annually, 25,000 tonnes of this fertilizer are produced, with the bulk donated to small farmers. The remaining portion is sold at lower prices than market rates, thereby reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and incentivizing rural producers. The goal is to increase production to 90-100,000 tonnes per year. The composting process involves triaging the waste, separating recyclables, and triturating the organic matter, which then matures into a fine powder used as fertilizer in agriculture, replacing other organic and chemical fertilizers. This substitution saves farmers money and reduces environmental impacts from landfills. Currently, the controlled landfill in Jockey receives 400-600 tonnes of waste daily, and the first stage of the process involves separating recyclables and triturating the organic matter in a pit where it remains for approximately 100 days until maturation. The final product is then screened and becomes the fine powder used as fertilizer.
