Options for Contaminants in Organic Waste
Tender ID: 522042
Tender Details
Tender Description
This RFP relates to the purchase of consulting services to deliver a study titled ‘Options to address contamination in organic waste to strengthen end markets for processed organics’.
This work will play an important role in supporting the Emissions Reduction Plan as it applies to the waste sector. It will also support long-term financial sustainability of the organic waste processing sector .
The risks caused by contamination could see compost and other processed organic waste products used for non-agricultural or horticultural uses (e.g. in parks or motorway berms) rather than returned to the food system. We do acknowledge however, that although the return of processed food waste back into the food system is the desirable solution from a circular economy perspective and offers a high benefit end use , other markets may be better suited to lower quality processed organic waste products.
The challenge to address is how to minimise contamination within products created from organic feedstocks, such as food waste, green waste and biosolids/sludges, to expand end markets, particularly within agricultural land uses.
The broader context and details about the specific key outcome requirements for this project are provided in the RFP Information document.
