Abstract

Current waste management relies on outdated technological platforms that mimic natural phenomena, inadvertently creating a global "Ecosphere–Technology" conflict. Existing chemical-technological, environmental, and agricultural systems within the ecosphere generate their own technological waste and impose a significant chemical-technological burden. To establish a sustainable, environmentally sound chemical-soil-biological engineering framework, new technologies for land, water, and waste recycling are essential. This framework aims to ensure an expansion of long-term stable environment, safe waste management, and high-quality, productive ecosphere.

Leveraging a heuristic approach to define an environmentally sound technological development niche, we have developed the Biogeosystem Technique (BGT) methodology. BGT applies natural phenomena to create innovative, nature-friendly technical solutions and technologies for optimizing chemical, soil, water, and waste processes over the long term.

BGT* specifically addresses waste recycling from chemical-technological production, agricultural, municipal, and recreational systems. For this, soil geophysical and geochemical properties are enhanced by forming the illuvial layer fine structure and architecture enabling bulk or granular by-product soil-biological recycling. Furthermore, a pulsed intra-soil sequential-discrete watering methodology is developed for liquid by-product recycling and/or soil moistening, plant protection, and nutrition. An ultimate goal is an environmentally safe and economically efficient biological production of food, fodder, and raw materials. 

BGT*-based, single-pass 20–50 cm layer intra-soil milling creates a stable, fine multilevel soil aggregate system. This improves soil biome function for up to 40 years, leading to a 50–80% yield increase. Intra-soil pulse continuous-discrete watering reduces plant water consumption by 5–20 times. A dispersed intra-soil recycling of agriculture, municipal and industrial waste, along with gasification by-products, during the 20–50 cm soil layer milling process ensures complete waste recycling, plant nutrition, and environmental safety.
