Organics Recovery Sample Clauses

Organics Recovery. The biodegradable organic material, including food waste, yard trash, and paper products, is one of the largest components of the MSW stream (SPREP 2010a). Many larger communities with a goal of materials recovery and landfill diversion target organic components (those without established recycling markets) for treatment through composting or anaerobic digestion. Unlike the recycling markets described in the previous section, successful implementation of organics recycling is not dependent on an end-user market located far from the remote, economically challenged community (Hoornweg et al. 1999, UNEP 2013). Given the issues with waste collection and transport in rural areas, where roads may be inaccessible or narrow, the ability to practice composting or anaerobic digestion at the point of waste generation increases attractiveness for communities in the US Pacific island territories. Rural US Pacific island territory households tend to produce a waste stream which has a relatively high fraction of organic material in comparison to homes on the US mainland, approximately 50% versus 35% on the US mainland making organics recovery a critical component of sustainable materials management strategy (US EPA 2015a, SPREP 2014). The reason for this differential waste composition are the consumption trends in these areas, where there is less consumption of pre-packaged foods and ready-made items. Composting of organics also improves leachate quality at landfills by reducing the organic fraction of the disposed waste (Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx 2014). Thus, organics recycling is one of the more feasible as well as important (for the purposes of environmental protection and maximizing landfill space) alternatives for waste diversion in isolated communities where transport issues abound (Mohee et al. 2015). The potential for composting and anaerobic digestion is described in the following sections.
