Waste Management
Many developing countries face increasingly serious waste management challenges, especially at the local government level. Taking countermeasures to reduce the amount of waste may also provide opportunities to reduce GHG emissions.

Co-composting of EFB and POME
The composting project in Malaysia will reduce the dumping of organic waste at a landfill which causes CH4 emissions. By utilizing empty fruits bunch (EFB) and palm oil mill effluent (POME) to produce compost, the project will deliver the multiple benefits of reducing waste, water pollution, and CH4 emissions.
