On 12/14/24, Eco-Justice Ethiopia, in collaboration with the Addis Ababa City Cleansing Management Agency and Yeka Subcity Woreda 09, hosted a workshop at Berlottue Hotel to discuss the opportunities and challenges of composting and its contribution to climate protection. The event included discussions on composting techniques, its environmental and economic benefits, and the impact of organic waste conversion. Participants learned how composting reduces solid waste, promotes urban development, and contributes to climate resilience by reducing methane emissions.
Key insights included the reduction of methane emissions, job creation, and turning waste into valuable resources.
At the event, Eco-justice Ethiopia expressed sincere appreciation for those working in the waste management sector and pioneering entrepreneurs striving to get their composting businesses off the ground. We need to create wider awareness about the value of proper organic waste management and everyone's role in making a functional system that starts with segregation at source.
Are you ready and willing to keep your organic waste separate?
