WASTE TO FERTILIZER
Josiane Nikiema, Olufunke Cofie and the
IWMI RQ team
A dream to come true for
Sub-Saharan Africa!
Contacts: j.nikiema@cgiar.org or iwmi@cgiar.org
OUTLINE
A. DAILY FERTILIZER POTENTIAL
FOR 200,000 PEOPLE
100 MT of municipal solid wastes (MSW)
50 MT of inorg. wastes
50 MT of org. wastes 6-12 MT of biochar
15 MT of compost
0.6-1.2 ha of land
1.5 ha of land
100 m3 of fecal sludge (FS)
Land application
Composting 1.5 MT of compost
4 MT of co-compost
0.7 ha of Land
0.5 ha of land (maize)
1.3 ha of land (maize)
Biochar 1 MT of biochar 0.2 ha of land

DAILY FERTILIZER POTENTIAL
FOR 200,000 PEOPLE270 m3 of urine
Direct land application
Struvite
N:P:K:Mg of 6:29:0:10 Slow release fertilizer, suitable for plants or to
supplement other minerals
11 ha of Land
27 MT of excreta
Co-composting
Biochar
4-9 ha of Land
3-6 MT of biochar
13-26 MT of (co-)compost
0.3-0.6 ha of Land
80% of the
nutrients needed
to grow food for
the same
population size

2. ORGANIC SOLID WASTE
• Compared to Africa, Asia is more
advanced
– E.g. Sri Lanka has 115 municipal
solid waste (MSW) compost
plants
– A2Z in Ludhiana (India) processes
900 MT/d of MSW through
– These plants are either fully
publicly owned or managed under
a PPP
Examples of Kenyan
compost plants
Dudutech
4 MT/d
EcoH
Holdings
550 MT/d
Nawacom Coop.
Society
28 MT/ d
Uganda;60
MT/d
Ghana; 600
MT/d
And more large MSW
compost plants…
Composting is common because it reduces
volumes of wastes and need for landfills
3. THE STORY IS QUITE DIFFERENT WITH EXCRETA
•
• Few exceptions processing some MT per day are:
Sanergy, KenyaSoil – Haiti
NGOs
Burkina
Faso
Rwanda
Kenya
South
Africa
Etc.
Safisana compost Uses digested (sludge + org. wastes)
Loowatt, Madagascar
4. THE STORY IS WORSE WITH FECAL SLUDGE

Waste to Fertilizer: A dream to come true for Sub-Saharan Africa!

  • 1. WASTE TO FERTILIZER Josiane Nikiema, Olufunke Cofie and the IWMI RQ team A dream to come true for Sub-Saharan Africa! Contacts: j.nikiema@cgiar.org or iwmi@cgiar.org
  • 3. A. DAILY FERTILIZER POTENTIAL FOR 200,000 PEOPLE 100 MT of municipal solid wastes (MSW) 50 MT of inorg. wastes 50 MT of org. wastes 6-12 MT of biochar 15 MT of compost 0.6-1.2 ha of land 1.5 ha of land 100 m3 of fecal sludge (FS) Land application Composting 1.5 MT of compost 4 MT of co-compost 0.7 ha of Land 0.5 ha of land (maize) 1.3 ha of land (maize) Biochar 1 MT of biochar 0.2 ha of land

  • 5. DAILY FERTILIZER POTENTIAL FOR 200,000 PEOPLE270 m3 of urine Direct land application Struvite N:P:K:Mg of 6:29:0:10 Slow release fertilizer, suitable for plants or to supplement other minerals 11 ha of Land 27 MT of excreta Co-composting Biochar 4-9 ha of Land 3-6 MT of biochar 13-26 MT of (co-)compost 0.3-0.6 ha of Land 80% of the nutrients needed to grow food for the same population size

  • 7. 2. ORGANIC SOLID WASTE • Compared to Africa, Asia is more advanced – E.g. Sri Lanka has 115 municipal solid waste (MSW) compost plants – A2Z in Ludhiana (India) processes 900 MT/d of MSW through – These plants are either fully publicly owned or managed under a PPP Examples of Kenyan compost plants Dudutech 4 MT/d EcoH Holdings 550 MT/d Nawacom Coop. Society 28 MT/ d Uganda;60 MT/d Ghana; 600 MT/d And more large MSW compost plants… Composting is common because it reduces volumes of wastes and need for landfills
  • 8. 3. THE STORY IS QUITE DIFFERENT WITH EXCRETA • • Few exceptions processing some MT per day are: Sanergy, KenyaSoil – Haiti NGOs Burkina Faso Rwanda Kenya South Africa Etc. Safisana compost Uses digested (sludge + org. wastes) Loowatt, Madagascar
  • 9. 4. THE STORY IS WORSE WITH FECAL SLUDGE FORTIFER (Wafo) In Ghana Senegal • – – – • – –
  • 10. C. THERE IS OPPORTUNITY FOR SCALING UP • – – • – – • Nutrients Organic matter Improves soil quality Improve crop yields
  • 11. D. WHAT IS NEEDED FOR SUCCESSFUL SCALING-UP? • – – – • •
  • 12. ON THE GROUND, WE ALSO NEED TO: • – • – – • – – • •
  • 13. RECYCLING OF WASTE INTO FERTILIZER WILL THEN BECOME A FACT FOR SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA Compost •Biochar Direct land application (Co-)compost • Biochar Direct application •Struvite: MgNH4PO4.6H2O Compost •Dry soil conditioner •Biochar
