Rice husk is a by-product of rice processing. In Peru, this husk constitutes one of the most problematic agricultural residues due to two factors. The first has to do with the conditions in the supply of rice and sowing planning, while the second is related to the physicochemical characteristics of the husk. These are the main reasons for the low recovery of this waste. Against this background, composting is offered as a clean and low-cost recovery alternative, which makes it accessible to any producer. According to this situation, the present research focused on evaluating the degradation of rice husk through composting, mixing it with other massive generation waste such as green waste (pruning, roots, litter) and kitchen waste, grouping them into four treatments. To achieve this, some basic composting parameters were analyzed (temperature, moisture, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, carbon-nitrogen ratio, pH and electrical conductivity), proving that a process of transformation of organic matter occurred. Rice husk was also specifically analyzed through Klason lignin, showing an increase after composting. The Pearson correlation matrix applied to all the analyzed parameters showed that the Klason lignin of the rice husk had an inverse relationship with the total nitrogen of the compost; and direct to total organic carbon, carbon nitrogen ratio and temperature. The principal component analysis showed that the first factor represented the materials in degradation by composting, while the second factor was governed by the acidity of the medium. Finally, the rice husk was subjected to an analysis of attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy, whose readings verified that the increase in Klason lignin was due to the decrease in the proportion of cellulose and hemicellulose since the readings showed a decrease in intensity of peaks linked mainly to both constituents
