Turning waste into wealth

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : Under the project, livestock manure is converted into biogas, a clean and renewable source of energy for cooking, heating, electricity generation, or productive use within the enterprise, reducing dependence on firewood, biomass, LPG, and fossil fuels.
49% : Through its 'Waste to Wealth' approach, the project works with microenterprises across agribusiness, manufacturing, and service sectors, transforming waste, by-products, and underutilised resources into valuable raw materials, renewable energy, and marketable products that support enterprises in reducing environmental pollution while improving productivity, profitability, and climate resilience.
47% : Crop residues such as rice straw, husk, vegetable residues, fruit waste, and other biomass are transformed under the project into compost, organic fertiliser, livestock feed, biochar, or renewable bioenergy instead of being openly burned or discarded.
45% : Through the integration of RECP practices, circular economy principles, renewable energy technologies, and sustainable waste management systems, the SMART project is turning waste into wealth, enabling microenterprises to become more productive, resource-efficient, environmentally responsible, and climate-resilient.
