Pori, FI Biowaste Recovery Pilot Residents Disposal Changes
Complete
Seven hundred apartments and homes in six areas were selected to separate kitchen waste from trash headed to the landfill. Each participant received a kitchen caddy, step-by-step instructions, and enough biodegradable bags for the six-month program. Pori issued a 240-liter curbside bin for every six households to maximize bin use. Municipal officials surveyed pilot participants to determine how the program can improve by 2024.
Project Succeeded
Ninety percent of survey respondents said that food waste separation was simple. Pori found 63% of respondents would consider composting and food waste reduction measures after the pilot.
