The work provides an overview of methods of waste collection and treatment in Poland and the Czech Republic. Differences ( in contrast to Poland, MBT technology is not used in the Czech Republic and only one incineration plant works) and similarities (similar share of waste management methods, the comparable mass of generated municipal solid waste per capita and similarly low sorting rate) between both countries have been indicated focusing on various fractions of municipal solid wastes as well as the dominant system of their management. SWOT analysis focused on the municipal solid waste management of both countries has been created. In Poland, the proportion between small amounts of waste collected selectively and the mass of waste sent to landfills is not satisfactory. In the Czech Republic, lots of municipal solid waste is deposited in landfills.
Vermicomposting is a completely environmentally friendly technology that converts biodegradable waste into a value-added vermicompost. The vermicomposting technology can also be utilized for generating a bioliquid termed as vermiwash. In case of vermicomposting in vertical continuous feeding vermireactor (VermiHut Worm Bin), the vermiwash can be collected separately in the lowest part of vermireactor. Then the vermiwash can be used as a liquid fertilizer. The aim of the presented study was to assess the phytotoxicity of vermiwash depending on its concentration. To assess the phytotoxicity levels of the vermiwash, the germination index (GI) was calculated according to the certified methodology (the watercress assay). Within the pilot research, the certified methodology was verified and then optimized.
