Recommendation ORG6: Develop new products and technologies for organic residuals

Develop a strategy for researching and developing best practices, additional products and new technologies for organics recycling. Specific actions include:

1. Identify priority research needs for innovative new technologies and products that will help closed-loop organics recycling.
2. Encourage and seek funding for specific projects that can serve as demonstrations and/or fulfill research needs, including biomass energy projects that involve closed-loop recycling of organic residual materials.

Related Milestone

One or more pilot projects using biomass energy technology are in operation to demonstrate the efficacy of capturing energy from organics.

3. Develop and promote best practices for organics collection and processing.

Related Milestone

Best management practices for organics recycling at institutions are in use and at least six organics recycling programs are operating in large institutions and government agencies.
