2 Best practices paper on Organic Waste Management Final Report

1. Introduction Best practices paper on organic waste management, will provide guidance for Penang to reduce SLCPs through environmentally sound management of organic waste. This paper captures some of the good examples of organic waste management already implemented as well as painstakingly compiled throughout the years.

The Best Practices materials include manuals, PowerPoint presentations of various community projects and video clips developed for dissemination to the public to create awareness and education. These can be easily downloaded and shared as reference materials locally or globally.

The Best Practice Compilation will continue to grow in time and these will be documented and uploaded onto the http://www.pgcaringsociety.com.my/ website provided by courtesy of the webmaster under the auspices and guidance of Hon. Mr , Penang State Minister for Caring Society, Welfare and Environment.

The Solid Waste management unit itself visited four (4) best practices sites in organic waste management by zero waste communities were visited and documented by the Solid Waste Management Unit. They are as follows:

1.1. Taman Pandan Apartments Environment Resource Centre This project is at the initiative of the Taman Pandan Residents themselves headed by Ms Loh Poh Chen. It is run by a committee consisting of Taman Pandan Apartment dwellers. Activities include recycling activity, composting and small

3 scale farming. It is one of the pioneers in zero waste management and a venue for many local and foreign visitors.

Food waste is deposited by participating apartment dwellers at the organic food waste corner with collection bins. Other bins are for collecting recycled items such as paper and plastic containers. The food waste is transported to a compost shed a distance away to be composted naturally and the final product is sold. Proceeds from the sale is channeled back to pay for repairs and purchase of tools needed. This center also produces plastic bags made from recycled plastic billboard advertisements for sale as one of its activities.

1.2. Bayan Baru Market The City Council of Penang Island (MBPP) in 2011 with the assistance of its service provider “Ecogen” embarked on a pilot project in this market to convert food waste into bio-liquid soil enhancer to be used by farmers for their crops. This is good for the environment, as these food waste would be diverted from ending up in the landfill at Pulau Burong. The bio regen process utilizes microbes to break down food waste in holding tanks. The process starts with participating stall holders in the market. Participants store food waste which will be collected by the city council workers and sent to a section where the food waste is grinded and mixed with microbial (Bokashi). This is then channeled to a holding tank and left for natural decomposition. After 28 days of decomposition, the end product is a bio-liquid soil enhancer collected by the agent for agricultural use.

1.3. Farlim Market This market employs the same concept as the above Bayan Baru Market in treating food waste generated.

5 The Bio-regen Food Waste Processing machines are also found in the following places:

1. Markets 1.1. Bayan Baru Market Complex and Hawker Complex 1.2. Campbell Street Market 1.3. Market 1.4. Jelutong market 1.5. Farlim Market 1.6. Rifle Range Market 1.7. Batu Lancang market

2. Schools 2.1. 2.2. Tun Syed Sheh Shahabuddin Science Secondary School 2.3. Convent Light Street Secondary School 2.4. Convent Green Lane Secondary School 2.5. Union Penang Secondary School 2.6. Methodist Boys Secondary School

3. Highrise Residential Apartments 3.1. Taman Pelangi Apartments Block 9 3.2. River Road Low Cost Flats for the hardcore Poor

4. Bukit Jawi Golf Resort 5. Penang Girl Guides Association

6 1.4. Penang Hill Project Penang Hill Corporation as the sole authority on development of Penang Hill was tasked with finding a solution for the growing food waste generated as well as sewage produced with the increased in number of daily visitors to the hill, following an upgrading of train services. Indah Water Konsortium, the sewage treatment consortium is unable to construct a treatment plant because suitable land is insufficient. Tankers are unable to do ascend the hill to carry out desludging works because of the steep terrain. A solution was found through implementing this project.

Food waste is collected by council workers from the stalls of the hawker's complex. The treatment for the breakdown of food waste is similar to that employed by the Bayan Baru Market. Here, the decomposed food waste is mixed with sewage from the hawker's complex for further decomposition in tanks until it is completely broken down and safe to be released into the environment, successfully achieving near zero waste with a standalone system.
