Replication of Waste Concern’s Decentralized Composting Model in Vietnam and Sri Lanka
With the support from UNESCAP, Waste Concern successfully replicated it small scale (3 tons/ day capacity) compost plants in the Quay Nhon City of Vietnam and Matale City of Sri Lanka. Later both the cities are requesting Waste Concern to bundle these small scale plants for their respective cities.
Quay Nhon City, Vietnam generates= 80 tons/day (60% organic)
Matale City of Sri Lanka generates= 30 tons/day (60% organic)
