Capacitating the Community on Waste Segregation, Composting, and its Application

Empowering households in Fara Kebele through training on waste source segregation, windrow composting techniques, and the application of compost to enhance urban agriculture and soil health.

The Science of Source Segregation

Effective waste management begins at the source, and our three-stream sorting process is designed to maximize recovery rates:

  • Organic Waste Recovery: We sort food waste and green matter for processing in our aerobic composting facilities, which significantly reduces methane emissions from landfills.
  • Recyclable Diversion: We sort metals, glass, and high-grade plastics, preparing these materials for secondary manufacturing cycles.
  • Residual Management: We direct only non-recyclable materials to sanitary landfills, a practice that extends the operational life of landfills by up to 60%.

Soil Health Initiative

We are committed to closing the nutrient loop through the following approach:

  • Distribution: Our premium compost is distributed to local farmers throughout the region.
  • Impact: By returning nutrients to the soil, we improve local food security and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
