SYMBIOTIC: Social-industrial sYmbiosis of Malaysia’s BIO-plasTIC wastes

马来西亚每年4200万吨城市固体废物（MSW）中只有不到25%被回收。有机部分代表了13.1TWh的浪费，而每年有630万吨塑料最终进入垃圾填埋场。SYMBIOTIC利用了食品和塑料废物回收之间的协同效应。旨在鼓励行为改变的利益攸关方参与的倡导性活动将支持社区对废物进行分类并提高回收率。将在循环经济商业模式框架的同时创建决策支持工具。将开发利用共生有机副产品的第二阶段城市再生活动的设计。该项目的目标是女性参与率超过50%（可持续发展目标5），在第二阶段从食物垃圾中产生清洁、安全、负担得起的燃料，供当地社区和企业使用（可持续发展目标7）。它将以妇女和低收入者为目标，采用消费电子商业模式（可持续发展目标8）;结合联合收割机创新技术，支持当地基础设施（可持续发展目标9）和替代化石燃料的使用，减少垃圾填埋场温室气体排放（可持续发展目标13）。

Less than 25% of Malaysia’s annual 42M tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) is recycled. The organic fraction represents a wasted 13.1TWh while 6.3M tonnes of plastic ends up in landfill annually.SYMBIOTIC exploits synergies between food and plastic waste recycling. Participatory stakeholder engagement activities designed to encourage behaviour change will support communities to separate wastes and increase recycling rates. A decision-support tool will be created alongside a circular economy business model framework. Designs for Phase 2 urban regeneration activities utilizing SYMBIOTIC’s organic by-products will be developed. The project aims for >50% female participation (SDG5), generating clean, secure, affordable fuel from food waste during Phase 2 for local community and business use (SDG7). It will target women and those on low incomes with CE business models (SDG8); combine innovative technologies to support local infrastructure (SDG9) and replace fossil fuel use, reducing landfill GHG emissions (SDG13).
