Huge amount of soiled cotton waste is being produced by
utilization of sanitary napkins by the women who have attained puberty. An
attempt has been made to manage these wastes through composting and
vermicomposting. Enzyme activities were studied during the composting and
vermicomposting of soiled sanitary napkins. The highest protease (354.356
µg/g/hr), urease (0.104 µg/g/hr), amylase (119.08 µg/g/hr) and cellulase
(170.13 µg/g/hr) activity was observed in vermicomposting sets. There was
significant increase (p<0.001) in the enzyme activity in the vermicomposting
and composting sets as compared to control.
