LIPOR and the University of Oxford published a study comparing different biowaste valorization strategies in Waste Management.
This joint work was developed by LIPOR (João Graça, Telmo Machado) and the University of Oxford (Till Weidner, Aidong Yang) to compare the economic and environmental performance of different biowaste management strategies, with Greater Porto as a Case Study.
The study assessed decentralized biowaste valorisation strategies (home composting and composting islands) and collection and treatment in centralized facilities (composting and anaerobic digestion). Using geographical analysis in GIS, the impacts of the different strategies were compared on a district (parish) level.
