COMMUNITY ECO-COMPOSTER

ENEA designs and develops models of sustainable waste management to produce compost to be used as fertilizer in agriculture. In developing countries these models can be applied to waste collection, recycling, treatment and disposal activities that can be integrated and adjusted to local needs. Specifically:  community composting, particularly in urban and peri-urban areas (urban gardens), and promoting soil fertility recovery in the countryside

Egadi - "Smart Islands" Project

Benefits and Advantages:

• Low cost and easy application
• compost production
• Development of qualified jobs

ENEA Service:

• technical support
• consulting
• training

ENEA Activities:

ENEA has designed and developed a small-sized community composter for recovery and exploitation of the on-site treatment of organic fractions in Favignana Island under the pilot project ”Smart Islands”. Such a technology can easily be transferred to small contexts as those of  Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
