Composting Facilities for Organic Waste in Tanzania – VPA1
Gold Standard · GS12908 · Tanzania
About this project
The VPA aims to reduce the amount of organic waste that is dumped in uncontrolled landfills and thereby mitigate methane emissions. The organic waste will be treated aerobically in composting facilities. The purpose of this VPA is to construct and operate two composting plants in the United Republic of Tanzania. The first site will be located South of Dar es Salaam in the Pwani region and the second site will be located outside of the town of Iringa, in Iringa region.
