Tamlynn Fleetwood of the Durban University of Technology (DUT) Urban Future Centre makes a case for municipal savings for managing organic waste in her presentation Making Cents of Composting at the ISWA 2024 Waste to Wealth: Solutions for a Sustainable Future Conference held this week in Cape Town, South Africa. The presentation showcases how a composting pilot undertaken in Durban, South Africa, offers financial savings for the municipality, as well as other co-benefits. The pilot was initiated under the Warwick Zero-Waste Project (2021 -2023), a partnership project that aims to co-create inclusive and viable zero-waste models that support sustainable waste management and climate change mitigation.
