Increasing Composting Infrastructure In The Nation's Capital

摘要

THE Department of Public Works (DPW) in the District of Columbia recently released its feasibility study on developing composting infrastructure. The motivation to investigate a composting program stems from the Sustainable Solid Waste Management Amendment Act of 2014 that sets an 80 percent diversion goal by 2032 for all solid waste generated in the District from waste to energy (WTE) and landfill by source reduction, reuse, recycling, composting and anaerobic digestion.
