View Case Study

Summary

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.
