“…Landfilling is one of the most widely practiced methods for organic waste disposal. 49 In this method, organic waste is deposited in landfills, where it undergoes decomposition over time. 7 The waste is typically compacted and covered with soil or other materials to minimize odor and prevent the spread of contaminants.…”

The paper provides an overview of the potential use of humic substances (HS) derived from organic waste in transforming waste management practices. It discusses various types of organic waste, the production methods of HS, and their applications in agriculture, environmental remediation, and industry. The Perspective emphasizes the transformative potential of HS in reshaping organic waste management practices, highlighting improved soil fertility, mitigation of soil degradation, and immobilization of pollutants in soil and water systems. Additionally, it explores the economic viability of HS-based waste management and potential revenue streams from value-added products derived from HS. The paper also addresses environmental and regulatory considerations, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive regulatory frameworks, international policy and regulatory support, and continuous monitoring and evaluation of waste management practices. By integrating HS-based waste management into circular economy models, the paper suggests that it can contribute to resource conservation, nutrient recycling, and the development of a bio-based economy. Overall, the utilization of HS in organic waste management has the potential to revolutionize the field and contribute to sustainable resource recovery. The paper suggests that future research should continue to explore the quantifiable benefits of integrating HS into organic waste management, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and efficient waste management system.

“…These compounds accumulate in the sediment and enter the food chain. Methyl mercury accumulated in the food chain has high risk for top predators (Chai et al, 2015). Methyl mercury is a highly toxic compound because it can form lipophilic compounds that can cross the cell membrane, be absorbed easily and penetrate into the nervous system.…”

“…Methyl mercury is a highly toxic compound because it can form lipophilic compounds that can cross the cell membrane, be absorbed easily and penetrate into the nervous system. Methyl mercury is easily formed under the anaerobic reduction conditions from the final waste dumps through the reduction activity of sulfate and iron bacteria (Chai et al, 2015).…”

Leachate treatment containing methylmercury (CH3Hg+) can be done by using biodegradation method. Bacteria used in methylmercury biodegradation of the bacteria Empedobacter brevis. This study aims to examine the ability of bacteria in degrading methylmercury in leachate and determine the value of ?max and Ks. The degradation process is done with variation of inoculum concentration and incubation time aerobically. The parameters analyzed were the decrease of methylmercury content in the biodegradation process. The results showed that biodegradation of methylmercury by the bacterium Empedobacter brevis at 15% inoculum concentration was the highest decrease efficiency of 81%. The values of ?max and Ks in the bacterium Empedobacter brevis were 0.994 per hour with a substrate concentration of 1.588 mg /l.
