Economics of supermarket organics diversion

Article Abstract:

A cost of service framework for analyzing the economics of commercial diversion is described. Proactive efforts will help in setting the stage for solidifying an established infrastructure where the synergistic efficiencies of generators, composters and hauling companies can enhance a process-driven concept capable of growing at a reasonable pace with known capacities, a financially responsible cost structure for the super markets.

Quebec prepares for organics diversion

Article Abstract:

Quebec has proposed to expand on the 865,000 metric tons being composted annually at 38 composting facilities to attain a 60 percent waste diversion rate, including organics. The diversion details indicate that 60 percent of the wastes are related to the forestry sector, including wood residuals, paper mill biosolids and manures.
