Project Snapshot - Republic of Marshall Islands

Description:
The overflowing Jable-Batkan dumpsite in Majuro is the urgent problem for waste management faced in the RMI. This dumpsite has long exceeded its design capacity with waste now pushed up to 17m high against a seawall on the ocean side of the atoll. The priority for RMI is to reduced waste disposal at the dumpsite. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) seek to focus their PacWastePlus investment to introduce a programme to divert the largest two components of waste organics (17% and paper/cardboard (22%) from disposal and instead be processed to compost at an organic facility.
