At an event this month, Tanzania-based organisation Nipe Fagio demonstrated the impact of their SM2000 Composting Facility. In attendance was Grit Godfrey Mwimanzi, Environmental Ambassador from the Vice President’s Office (Union & Environment).

Each month, 75 tonnes of organic waste are diverted from landfill. Annually, methane emissions are estimated to be reduced by 77%, equivalent to 4.86 tonnes of CH₄ per year, while producing 15 tonnes of compost every month. Additionally, by reducing transport to the landfill, emissions are also reduced. Lastly, this initiative creates green jobs for youth, demonstrating how localized composting can deliver environmental, social, and economic benefits simultaneously.
