Turning Organic Waste into Urban Energy and Soil
The Urban Waste Challenge
Across Sub-Saharan cities, organic waste is piling up in landfills and streets—uncollected, unmanaged, and methane-emitting. This mounting crisis brings:
- Environmental degradation
- Public health risks
- Infrastructure burdens
Meanwhile, these same cities face energy poverty, rising food insecurity, and underdeveloped circular infrastructure.
