Maximizing Cost-Effective Biodegradable Waste Management

This project, led by Dr. Alberto Longo and Dr. Ulrich Ofterdinger in collaboration with Belfast City Council, focuses on understanding the costs and benefits of greener waste management practices. By involving stakeholders and policymakers, the aim is to quantify monetary benefits, gain government support, and educate households on sustainable waste solutions. The project's results extend beyond Northern Ireland, offering value for money and valuable insights for waste management businesses and other organizations.
