Full article: Municipal solid waste management in Ethiopia –

Energy to-waste (WTE) management has been deemed the greatest alternative even in Ethiopia because it guarantees energy recovery, minimizes waste generation by around 71%, and ensures energy recovery for efficient waste management (Ibikunle et al. Citation 2019), and SWM is essential for cities to stop the spread of illness, cut down on

Ethiopia''s waste-to-energy plant is a first in Africa

In cities where land is in short supply, "waste-to-energy" incineration is a quadruple win: it saves precious space, generates electricity, prevents the release of toxic chemicals into groundwater, and reduces the release of methane — a potent greenhouse gas generated in landfills — into the atmosphere.

Municipal Solid Waste Challenges in Ethiopia and Valorizing the

Aligned with global sustainability goals and emphasizing the promotion of resource efficiency and waste reduction, this review aims to identify the major challenges of MSW management in Ethiopia and valorize the MSW organic fraction to describe sustainable waste management solutions.

What is Ethiopia's $120 million waste-to-energy plant?

This weekend, the Ethiopian government inaugurated a $120 million waste-to-energy plant, right next to the garbage dump, in an attempt to curb the city’s mounting waste problem. The plant – called Reppie – is now operational and able to harvest energy from 1.4 million kilograms of waste each day.

Will Ethiopia's first energy plant convert trash into electricity?

Ethiopia is building Africa’s first energy plant that will convert trash into electricity. Here’s what you need to know. Waste management – the collection, management and disposal of solid waste – is one of the biggest challenges facing many African countries.

What is the generation rate of municipal waste in Ethiopia?

The findings reveal that the generation rate of municipal solid waste in Ethiopia is 0.38 kg/ca/day, with the waste composition being predominantly food waste, followed by ash, dust, and sand, and yard waste.

Where is Ethiopia's first waste-to-energy facility located?

Ethiopia is home to the continent’s first waste-to-energy facility after a launch of the Reppie project over the weekend. President Mulatu Teshome and other high level government officials were present for the event. The facility is built on the Koshe landfill site located on the outskirts of the capital Addis Ababa.

Is Ethiopia's MSW recyclable or decomposable?

show that, 73.13% and 11.78% of the MSW are recyclable and decomposable, respectively; this means that over 85% of Ethiopia’s MSW has the potential to be reused and recycled. The high organic content of MSW presents an opportunity to prioritize the recycling of organic waste materials through composting, and recycling (Shimelis 2011).

Where is Ethiopia's landfill?

As the city has expanded, the landfill – which used to lie on the outskirts of the Ethiopian capital – has become part of the urban landscape, sprawling over an area the size of 36 football pitches and attracting hundreds of waste pickers who make their living from salvaged trash.
