Composting Process is an alternative organic waste management for degradation waste generation. In general, bioactivator will be added to the organic waste mixture which aims to accelerate the process of maturing compost and not forgetting the quality standards of it in order to apply to the soil so that the environment will stay in a healty condition. There are various types of bioactivators that used in the composting process such as EM-4, Acticomp, Orgadec, and also bacteria which can be produce using various source organic matters such as vegetable waste. Vegetables waste is a good medium for growing microorganisms, and it can be use as bioactivator in the composting process. Another advantage of using this source is that vegetables waste are cheap and easy to find because they usually thrown away and not reused. Some researchers found bacterias like Streptococcus, Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, and Pediococcus are contained by vegetables that will create lactic acid fermentation .This bacterias has an important role to change various sugars in vegetables waste, especially into lactic acid which when compost is given to the soil, bacteria will play a role to control the pathogenic organisms. Some studies about bioactivator from vegetables waste relationship has been done related to the compost quality result from the addition of the environmental biaoctivator from vegetables. In this article, there will be reviews from various research journals related to the making and application of bioactivator from vegetables in the composting process and to find out whether the use of vegetables waste are good bioactivator for composting process.
