Almost half of what we throw away is organic waste—banana skins, a few leftovers… Most cities are collecting this type of waste separately from households. But very few cities are making good use of it. The most common treatment methods—composting and anaerobic digestion—mainly result in low-value products. SCALIBUR partners are developing a process to help cities make higher added value products from this waste stream.
