For sustainable development of Environment, a very important issue for Georgia is the sorting of household waste. Compostingis one of the key environmental activities, along with ecological sanitation and conservation of water.

Project was realized with financial support of Shota Rustaveli National Science Foundation of Georgia. The main goal of the project is improvement of ecological consciousness of population. In particular, offer to rural population in experimental pilot region sorting of household waste and recycling in compost with their direct participation in this process.

The select object is a sparsely populated small village Аrgokhi (Аkhmeta district, Kakheti region), where each family will beprovided with the special compost boxes. In these capacities they will gather all easily accessible organic materials and natural enrichments. On the base of proposed method, creating the appropriate conditions, for a short time they will receive the bestcompost for the organic fertilizer. As a result it will be real preconditions for production of environmentally pure products.

As a result, we have several benefit: formation a culture of household waste sorting in rural population; decrease the amount of waste in nature and, accordingly, diminish of waste disposal costs; elaboration of ability to produce and use the cheap bio-fertilizer – compost from the household waste for the improvement of soil fertility, that is the best alternative as a counterbalance to toxic chemicals; creation of preconditions for production of environmentally clean products; sensitization of the population on this issue; informing the relevant statements (Ministries of environment protection, agriculture, education, economy; regional and non-governmental organizations) on the obtained results; creation of prerequisites for the implementation of similar projects in other regions of the country, etc.
