The document describes a "Profit from Waste" project in Mzuzu, Malawi that aims to help communities manage waste and generate income. The project includes a biogas digester to process organic waste and produce gas for cooking. A restaurant, public toilets and showers, and waste sorting facility will be located on site. Non-biodegradable waste will be sorted for recycling. The project promotes sustainable construction materials and renewable energy sources like solar power and biogas.

Project Facility Restaurant, Public pay toilets and showers is located next to a produce market which operate by use of Bio-Energy “Methane Gas”. The facility is centred on the operation of a biogas digester. The site may be used for additional communal us- es, such as child care and communal gatherings. Organic waste from the market, from households, and from the pay toilets is di- gested in the biogas reactor. Bio-gas produced from the system would be used as a source of energy for cook- ing (separate restaurant business at same location) and/or heating (water of pub- lic showers). Grey water from showers is treated separate through small reed bed, and efflu- ent may be used for irrigation. Facility should have solar hot water heating if biogas is not used for heating. Simple solar photovoltaic for lighting (without need of inverter) with use of Ener- gy Server Bulbs.
3 “Profit from Waste” Project Outline SYSTEM OPERATION OUTLINE Project Facility  Covered waste segregation site, where non-biodegradable materials are separated for recycling.  Waste delivered from households to site, through incentive program i.e., for pay- ment of money or token for the use for public facilities. Project Construction Theme The project is using sustainable construction material through the use of com- pressed earth blocks. ( Soil Stabilised Blocks)  Rain water harvesting for the use in vegetable garden and toilet flushing, which, however needs support from piped water as backup in dry season.  Facility should have renewable energy sources; solar power lighting and water heat- ing and biogas for cooking.
