09. In depth - complete system for waste recycling. (At least one hour).

 

Look at slide :

 

19. A complete system for waste recycling. 

 

The principles behind the waste recycling system on the slide are :

 

a) Collection at the lowest, most decentralised level possible; in principle at the level of the individual households .

b) Preventive separation of waste products according to the distribution path they are to follow.

c) Production of  (reduction to) the smallest volume of waste possible so as to reduce transport requirements.

d) Recycling of waste at the lowest, most decentralised level possible. In some cases alternatives are provided.

 

1. Research.

 

On two pages, write a detailed analysis of the waste recycling system shown on the slide.

 

The category «other organic solids» includes raw kitchen leftovers and some remains of vegetable and fruit produce animals will have pleasure in consuming. Therefore they do not necessarily have to be composted. Kitchen leftovers such as meat residues must always be carefully protected against possible sources of contamination by flies and other insects, and vermin.

 

The average daily consumption of animals , like that of humans, depends on several factors including age, weight, activities, the nature of the foods available. Indicatively, a hen can eat each day the food left over by a family of five. Food intake for a pig weighing up to 25 kg is +/- 4 kg per day. A pig weighing 100 kg eats at least 9 kg per day. The average daily diet of a goat  is about +/- 4% of its weight.

 

Each distributed drinking water tank serves  +/- 50 families.

 

2. Opinion.

 

Write one page on the possibilities of extra local food production potentially attributable to the recycling of household and local restaurant food residues. How would you organise the extra production in tank commission areas in your project area ?
