Description:
By 2050, the world is expected to produce 3.78 billion tonne of solid waste per annum. Of this, Sub-Saharan Africa would account for 668 million metric tonne (18%). In the Global South, organic waste comprises 60-80 per cent of the total waste generated by the region; worldwide, the average is 50-55 per cent.
Currently, 60 per cent of the world’s waste is not properly collected or processed; 75 per cent of all waste in the Global South is indiscriminately disposed of in controlled or uncontrolled dumpsites. This is clear trigger for largescale greenhouse gas emissions – in fact, the municipal solid waste sector is the fourth largest contributor to global GHG emissions, primarily emanating from mismanaged biodegradable waste. Proper management and technology can transform this waste into a renewable energy source and improve soil quality.
The Global Forum of Cities for Circular Economy (GFCCE), fostered by Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), has prioritized sustainable biodegradable waste management as one of its key interventions. CSE is offering a four-day online training programme on composting, biomethanation, and Black Soldier Fly (BSF)-based treatment of biodegradable waste, with specific reference to successful models from sub-Saharan Africa and India.
