How This Helps the Planet
• Reducing, separating and treating biodegradable
municipal waste, converting into resources such as
compost, bio-energy or black soldier fly products
• Implementing waste-to resource approaches such as
anaerobic digestion of solid and liquid waste
• Collect, capture and use landfill gas and reduce landfill
emissions through biocovers
• Banning open burning of municipal waste and work
with communities to reduce burning
• Upgrading wastewater treatment and sanitation
systems with gas recovery and overflow control
