Recycle Organics: Reducing 30% of Methane Emissions from the Waste Sector by 2030

The goal of Recycle Organics is to accelerate the implementation of methane mitigation projects in the waste sector and create conditions for a sustained expansion of organic waste technologies. Public policy guidelines and recommendations that strengthened the waste management system and accelerated methane mitigation were implemented. The project raised awareness and scientific diffusion with an educational curriculum in Chile, the use of social media, and more than 20 workshops which trained over 480 individuals. Under the project, development of measurement, reporting, and verification protocols to estimate emission reduction potential in waste treatment projects and quantifying emissions from the national waste sector was done.

Quantifying and Increasing Methane Reductions through Community-led Food Recovery & Redistribution

Global commitments to food banking are essential for Food Loss and Waste prevention efforts to succeed. With increased support, food banks can multiply their impact on GHG emissions by redirecting more surplus food to more people in vulnerable situations. The project identifies a sustainable economic model for food banks to grow their impact across the world by reducing emissions and by recovering and redistributing more food. Additionally, the project helped avoid 1.5 billion kilograms of CO2e through food banks within the Global FoodBanking Network, equal to the emission reduction of taking 336,000 passenger vehicles off the road for one year.

Pilot Study for Waste Characterization in the Municipality of Puerto López, Ecuador

The project aims to develop and publish a waste characterization guideline for municipalities. The guideline was piloted with the goal of identifying barriers to implementation of the waste characterization guideline. The guidelines include collection, classification, and surveys to assess waster generation and management. Lessons learned from the pilot study include the significance of community engagement and effective planning to ensure success for future projects.
