 Compost work with the Greater Good project in Samoa

Nappies constitute around 27% of the total waste stream in Samoa. To reduce microplastic contamination in the local environment, the Greater Good Project is using the SPICE compost process in Maye Bruce boxes constructed from recycled wood transportation pallets, to compost nappies in combination with grass to make a high quality compost. Washable nappies are not viable due to a lack of reliable energy and water supplies in indigenous villages. The compost process offers an opportunity to capture faeces and urine in nappies as an asset rather than disposing of it to the environment. The high temperature in the compost process which is neither turned nor aerated provides a safe process for local compost production.
​It is hoped to spread this simple process to other Pacific Nations - safe, effective composting with little mechanical input.
