What Does BOM Stand For?
BOM stands for Biodegradable Organic Matter
BOM, or Biodegradable Organic Matter, refers to natural materials derived from living organisms that can decompose into simpler substances through the action of microorganisms and environmental factors. This category includes leaves, food scraps, and other plant and animal residues that contribute to nutrient cycling and soil health when broken down. The effective management of BOM is crucial for sustainable waste practices and reducing landfill contributions, as it can be composted or processed to produce valuable byproducts, such as compost or biogas.
