ACTION NAME **Environmental Composting**

The Fjaler area treats organic waste together with residual waste, and it is then sent to Sweden for burning. The best organic material is then reduced to special waste at a high environmental cost. An automatic composting solution, that is accepted by the authorities and desired by the collegestaff, is available and will be a possible showcase to other interested parties.
