Roadmap for Recycling Organic Waste

The document provides a roadmap of steps to follow to recycle organic waste, including understanding how much organic waste is produced, the possible treatment options, the need to start from small-scale, working with the citizens, and assessing the financial needs and capabilities. 

This roadmap was conceived for municipalities that are willing to adopt a sustainable municipal solid waste management system in which the organic waste receives the required attention and occupies a more relevant role, providing possible strategies and suggestions of technological routes for the recycling of this important fraction.
