Circular economy of sanitation and solid waste management for agriculture.

This research article is investigating the implementation of the circular economy of sanitation and solid waste management for agriculture programme in Fort Portal, Rwezori Region of Western Uganda, by WASTE. The main programme objective is to strengthen the local circular sanitation economy model for agriculture. The programme aims to focus on the production of co-compost as the main waste re-use activity. The ‘circular’ aspects of producing co-compost involve the re-use of oragnic waste and its nutrients by collecting, recycling, and applying co-compost in agriculture. Faecal sludge is included to both manage a piece of the overwhelming human waste management problem as well as enhance regular compost for a nitrogen-rich soil improver for agriculture application.
