Seminar on Earning from Waste with Students in Bonsaac Community

 

Earn from Waste Project

Earn from Waste is a project aimed at educating community members in Africa on the opportunities to earn income through waste recycling. With Africa producing around 70 million tons of waste annually, projected to exceed 160 million tons by 2025, effective waste management is crucial. By raising awareness about the potential for recycling and reusing waste to create new products, the project empowers individuals to participate in waste collection, sorting, and processing activities. By harnessing the economic potential of recycling, Earn from Waste promotes sustainable practices, reduces pollution, and contributes to a cleaner and healthier environment in African cities.

Agrorecyclub, a program of Rocksolid Organic Agro Enterprise, in conjunction with DO, brings this to the students of Bonsaac Community as it is in everyone's hands to take action to mitigate climate change, including students.

Wealth from Waste: Recycling Sawdust

 

Sawdust (or wood dust) is a #byproduct or #waste product of wood (a natural organic material) operations like sawing, sanding, milling and routing.

It is a potential #health problem leading to #respiratory problems and #cancer (which is why poultry #farmers are advised not use it in the #poultry house).

Disposal by open burning causes #harmful air pollutants, contributing to #ozone #pollution and #climate change pollution, to be released.

There are so many ways this waste can be #recycled, #reduced or #reused:

1. Used as mulch for #plants

2. In #compost pile as it is a great source of #carbon

3. Used to treat inorganic metal impurities in waste water

4. As #renewable #fuel/ #energy when burnt in an updraft gasifier and

5. Used for #organic #mushroom production, giving us #nutritious mushroom for #healthy #delicious meals.

Cultivating Oyster Mushroom On Postharvest Waste, Rice Straw

 

Rice straw, postharvest waste from rice farm, is usually burnt by rice farmers in preparation of the next planting season.

Recycling Food Waste through Black Soldier Fly Farming

 

One third of food produced globally is wasted each year and this results in waste of food purchased, waste of money and release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change.

One of ways food waste and release of greenhouse gases from food decay can be reduced is by recycling food waste through Black Soldier Fly Farming. The larva of this fly serve as alternative feed for livestock like poultry and fish, and reduce cost of feed while converting the waste to organic compost and fertilizer for crop and conserving our environment.
