摘要: The diversion and recovery of organic waste are one the most significant opportunities challenges for reducing environmental impacts disposal internationally, as recognised by United Nations’ SDG 12 that seeks to “ensure sustainable consumption production patterns”. This issue is particularly pertinent developed countries, like Australia, who have a high propensity removal arising from their industrial domestic use products, materials consumables.

Using only municipal waste, concluded COGG would generate between AU$6M-AU$11M/annum sale biogas/methane.
