To improve organic waste management in Fiji, the Ministry of Environment, with support from PacWastePlus - a project funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) - is rolling out community-based programmes to effectively collect and process organic wastes to prevent environmental pollution.
With around 60% of waste disposed at the disposal being an organic material, there is a significant opportunity to reduce leachate and methane generation and to create useful soil enhancers to increase agricultural yield.
This project will assist in achieving Fiji’s strategic goals to educate local communities on waste segregation, divert organic waste from dumpsites and process organic waste to support agricultural activities.
