Project title: Circular economy through composting of organic waste in Baldushk
Duration: November 2021 – April 2023
Overview and objectives: This aim of the project is to promote composting of organic waste in Baldushk municipality unit, Tirana, in order to reduce the amount of organic waste that is burned on the fields, thrown in rivers and lakes, and to reduce the amount of methane gas that would be produced if such waste would go to the Sharra landfill. Small-scale composting is generally unknown in Albania, and at its best, it is not done using the right method. The implementation of this project will help in promoting circular economy through the production of compost which can be sold or exchanged, and will help Albania in the implementation of the EU directives on waste, as well as implementation of the Strategy on Integrated Waste Management of Albania. The project will serve as a pilot model that can be replicated in other rural or semi-rural areas of Albania, and which gets Albania closer to the EU accession as a candidate country.
