Composting in Polar Regions. An examination of quality related criteria for a source separation system in a polar community
(2005)The International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics
- Abstract
- Today's technology allows for communities based in polar areas to introduce composting as a way of handling organic waste. The success of this is dependent on a well functioning source separation system. The objective of this research is to examine a set of criteria that on an experiential basis influence the outcome of a number of quality aspects of a source separation system. From analysing the prevailing situation in Longyearbyen an estimation is made of the outcome of the quality aspects reflecting the level of functioning of the source separation system. The research recommends which criteria can be improved on in order to achieve a well functioning source separation system.
