ORGANIC WASTE SOURCES:

In order to introduce a new way to deal with NYCs organic waste. A collection and composting system will be calibrated depending on its location. This toolkit was created to identify the collection strategy, type of facility and the architectural intervention that will cater for the waste produced by the population of the area.

3) CALIBRATE system:radius X housing fabric X food services type

In order to change the negative perception linked to the Not In My Backyard (NIMBY) mentality, our intervention attempts to introduce additional programs that caters for the needs of the community. We are aiming to become a center for integration that will play an important role in the communal progress and a great source of new jobs.

Public housing apartment buildings increase the density of the area and creates huge concentration of domestic waste.

historic fabric of LES contrasts with the public housing towers and hosts a massive number of restaurants in the area that represent the biggest amount of o-waste produced in the neighborhood

Hi-tech food waste processing plantVertal Ltd precedent, UK

This process combines traditional composting techniques with state-of-the-art technology to achieve extremely fast throughput on a very compact footprint - ideal for urban recycling close to the major sources of waste.

The process is entirely self-heating, harnessing the latent energy released during digestion to pasteurise food waste naturally under its own steam.

And the end product is exceptionally high in nutrients, so directly replaces petrochemical fertilisers used to grow new cropsOur system has a unique in its ability to be able to treat a wide range of solid and liquid food waste arising from the food industry, retail outlets and domestic households.The plant uses an innovative (wet) in-vessel aerobic process known as 3rd generation ATAD* generating temperatures of up to 80C and completely pasteurising and treating the food waste in as little as 72 hours.
