Composting is a sustainable method of organic waste management with significant environmental advantages. The utilization of nanoparticles, namely silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), has garnered interest due to its potential impact on crop productivity. Nevertheless, there is limited knowledge regarding the effects of AgNPs on waste decomposition. This study reports on synthesized green AgNPs using banana peel extract (BPE) as a reducing and capping agent. The impact of these BPE-AgNPs on the organic waste composting process was studied in treatment groups consisting of various concentrations of AgNPs and Ag+ in comparison to a control group without any Ag treatment. The compost samples were analyzed for temperature, pH, moisture, electrical conductivity, and mineral content throughout the composting period. The results indicated successful synthesis of BPE-AgNP showed by its surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak at 430 nm and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy results that showed functional groups involved for reducing Ag+ to Ag0. The presence of the AgNPs was observed not to influence the performance of the composting process and humification. Nonetheless, mineral analysis revealed that the content of magnesium was sufficient for supporting plant growth. The findings of this study indicate the functionality of organic waste compost may not be affected by the presence of AgNPs, even in relatively low quantities. The utilization of BPE-AgNPs in solid form may offer valuable insights into the impact of composting on soil microbial communities, warranting further study in the future.
