Waste sorting is the most efficient method of handling the environmental challenge because incineration and landfilling have a direct impact on carbon and GHG emissions. Corrugated fiberboard and cardboard waste are mixed with unsorted waste.
My research began with an examination of how earthworms eat and live, and I found that they are receptive to microbes in cattle manure, the primary organic matter used to feed earthworms for vermicomposting in Thailand. Previously, vermicomposting was utilized to manage cattle dung, therefore I developed a method to simulate Ruminant Digestion in to deteriorate sorted corrugated fiberboard and cardboard by extracting microbes from cattle manure and growing them in degrading sorted paper waste, then feeding them to earthworms for bedding. In 11 weeks, the second-third of the bedding, which is decomposing paper waste full of ruminant digestion microorganisms, will be vermicompost.
The title 'White Sack' refers to a container for sorting and collecting paper waste. It was cleaned and made from five repurposed cattle manure sacks. The White Sack, measuring 0.45x0.45x0.80, can hold 13 to 18 kg of paper waste to produce 20 kg of vermicompost. When a customer's White Sack is full, an appointment to trade fresh vermicompost and a time for them to bring their paper waste will be scheduled. White Sack has managed 3.85 tons of paper waste and produced 6.2 tons of vermicompost since 2019. This sum is equivalent to offsets for 47 tons of CO2. It is projected that 700 square meters of green space will be available.
White Sack may assist with paper waste sorting while also extending green area with a sustainable method. Because every aspect of the beneficial reaction to paper waste will be donewith cooperation,pay attention, and social responsibility.

Cattle farming is one of the businesses that emits a lot of carbon and GHG, yet people still need milk and dairy products, so it's debatable whether carbon emissions should be paid for. Thai dairy farmers dry cow dung to make vermicompost for additional funds. I identified a group of microbes from Ruminant Digestion that have the ability to digest fiber and belong in there. I began researching ways to properly dispose of cardboard and corrugated fiberboard until I observed a similarity between paper fiber and degraded grasses in cattle manure.
Public promotion of garbage sorting is difficult in numerous countries, and some people will not act because they have doubts about the municipal waste system. White Sack's vermicomposting can demonstrate that their sorted paper waste will improve their life when utilized to treat plants. The entity of White Sack's vermicompost is the birthrate of new earthworm hatchlings. Proper humidity and microbial dispersion are the most important factors in care for an earthworm's infant. Continue utilizing White Sack's vermicompost in the same green place for earthworms to organically thrive, which can live in 1-2 feet of soil and dispose organic material from plants for humus.
With empirical results, White Sack may evolve into a carbon offset system. I discovered that recycling 1 kg of paper waste equals 3.9 kg of carbon offsetting. One kilogram of vermicompost used equals 0.24 kilograms of carbon offset. One mature tree with a height of 4-6 meters offsets 20-22 kg of carbon each year. So White Sack can benefit from carbon offsetting three times more; the actual reward is eye-witness in green surroundings.
We may not be able to stop climate change instantly, but White Sack's vermicomposting from sorted paper waste can transform green space into an area where we can manage our consumption leftovers.

Only in Bangkok, Thailand for the time beings, but the program might be implemented in other countries if I can find a cattle farm, develop a factor for local earthworms, and build a vermicomposting micro factory in the basement for the duration of the winter.

From November 2019 to November 2021, the project will work on research and development before beginning to service household customers in November 2022.

www.linkedin.com/in/waranyu-s-905a4b272 is my personal account where I constantly blog about White Sack for branding.

My idea began by chance when I visited the western province of Thailand, where the inhabitants are dairy farmers. Because the cost of selling fresh milk to manufacturers is unstable, they try to make money by drying and selling cattle manure for farm waste management, which is high in nitrogen and beneficial to soil and plants. Some cattle farmers begin to employ cattle manure for earthworm bedding, resulting in excellent organic compost from earthworm. This inspired me to develop an idea for a solution for cities with limited greenspace and the need to send leftovers to the provincial area, as well as the impact on the environment because of the low intention to evaluate pollution from odor, GHG, and carbon emissions that harm all around them, particularly in agricultural areas. White Sack, my initiative, may transform old waste management practices by converting municipal green space to respond to consumption leftovers. It all starts with everyone starting in to sort and collect paper waste.
Many capital and large cities throughout the world will commemorate 2030 as a year to enhance additional green space, and the methods for treating and maintaining green space may remain the same, such as preparing space, planting, watering, nourishing, and decorating. White Sack's vermicomposting method can be accomplished by composting paper waste and receiving live earthworms. Between vermicomposting and ruminant digestion's microbes decomposing paper waste, earthworm population increases and new-hatchings can flourish spontaneously. Natural impediments may reduce earthworm populations, so use White Sack's vermicompost as usual to feed plants and trees while grow and populate earthworms.
For me, the change in the next century from White Sack may be that all green space in cities will be used for paper waste management, with people sorting paper waste. And people breath from their paper waste sorting.

Global boiling happened without alert, but green space is still required for lots of reasons. White Sack's cycle cannot be completed if no one intends to sort their paper waste from their rubbish. Waste sorting does not mean reselling garbage for money, but rather the complexity of materials in consumption that must be solved by hand and heart, like in Kamikatsu city. I believe that sorting paper waste for White Sack's vermicomposting will yield many results in the end.
Because of the high nitrogen content of White Sack's vermicompost, it can be used to grow vegetables and fruits (such as lime and banana) for food. It can grow napier grass, which is used to feed dairy cattle, therefore milk and dairy products are produced as a result of waste sorting. The mature size of eucalyptus or paper trees takes more than six years to cut down; this may vary, but using vermicompost for them implies that paper waste physically turns into paper. In the context of the fiber and paper life cycle, this means that White Sack is a circular system.
Because all factors in White Sack's vermicomposting are based on organic processes and man labour, White Sack's vermicomposting may be set up in any part of the world with three starting variables. One, dairy farming or ruminant animal farming to extract a group of microorganisms for decomposing sorted paper waste. Two, find local earthworms or non-alienated earthworms from farming-grow to test feeding and living in White Sack's formula earthworm bedding. The last category is world citizens in poverty. It is debatable whether rubbish pickers in many countries are uneducated, elderly and impoverished. White Sack can be a paper waste depot where they can buy their selected paper waste and turn it into vermicompost.

White Sack service requires consumer cooperation, which includes residence or enterprise size.
I created a business plan for White Sack which involves a micro factory in each suburb, a municipal factory in the city or a large county in the province. Paper is a common substance that is easy to burn, easy to damp and solicit termites to ruin property, and has a low price for recycling. So it is conceivable to set up a 300 SqM micro factory to manage paper waste in a 10 SqKm area.
From March 2020 to December 2022, White Sack offers 3.4 T of paper waste to Buddhadasa Indapanno Archieves Bangkok for treatment their 500 SqM of greenery. Some trees were chosen by an architect during the designing phase, and when they mature, the platform on which they dwell lacks good soil and nutrients. I dedicated for a slow adjustment by feeding 20 kg vermicompost to a mature size tree every 8-10 weeks, and it worked perfectly. In 2023, we explored the method of no-sift compost for dry leaves using a vermicompost mixture. In concept, this process does not only manage garden waste but also to grow earthworms with themselves because new hatchling earthworms are combined with White Sack's vermicompost.
Since July 2022, White Sack has collaborated with Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Communication Arts in Bangkok to create empirical content for managing sorted paper waste from lecturers, staff, and students. The majority of them are postal packages from online shopping, which is becoming more common. With limited greenery, the most of those are 10M tall trees for over parking lots, over 350 Kg of sorted paper waste turned vermicompost for feeding those trees, and the approximate carbon offset amount is 9,000 Km of driving a gas vehicle presently and counting.
