Regional Municipal Organic Waste Diversion to Anaerobic Digestion to Support Resource Recovery and Circular Economy

温室部门在加拿大经济中发挥着重要的作用，而且还在不断扩大。在线性经济模型中，来自中小型城市和工业、商业和机构(IC&I)部门的大部分食物和有机废物(FOW)最终进入垃圾填埋场，这对环境和社会有几个重大影响。支持FOW循环经济模式的战略正开始在加拿大推广，厌氧消化(AD)是一个很好的选择。然而，仍有几个障碍对中小城市以及工业和工业部门在努力改善其通过反兴奋剂转移废物的目标方面产生了不利影响。该项目伙伴关系的目标是探索一种新的区域公共/私营伙伴关系框架，以全面降低垃圾转用的成本，特别是对中小型城市和蔬菜温室部门，以提高利用可持续发展技术回收资源的可行性，并支持循环经济模式。

The Greenhouse Sector has a significant and expanding role to play in the Canadian economy. In a linear economy model, a large fraction of food and organic waste (FOW) from small- and medium-sized municipalities and industrial, commercial and institutional (IC&I) sector is ending up in landfills, which has several significant impacts on the environment, and society. Strategies that will support the circular economy model for FOW are starting to be promoted in Canada, and anaerobic digestion (AD) is a great option. However, there remain several hurdles that adversely impact small- and medium-sized municipalities, and also the IC&I sector, in their attempts to improve their targets for FOW diversion via AD. The goal of the project's partnership is to explore a novel regional public/private partnership framework for a holistic reduction in the cost of FOW diversion, in particular for small- and medium-sized municipalities and the vegetable greenhouse sector, to improve the feasibility of resource recovery using AD and support the circular economy model.
