Solid waste composting trends and projects

Article Abstract:

Indonesia's large cities usually handle municipal solid waste (MSW) through transfer stations and then at final disposal sites. In 1995, the average organic fraction of MSW in these cities was 72%. Similarly, the agro-industrial solid wastes are dominated by organic matter. Indonesia now has many composting plants for MSW and agro-industrial solid wastes, with systems used included open bin, vermicomposting and Caspari. The open bin system is used to handle solid wastes generated in small amounts each day.
