What Does OFMSW Stand For?

OFMSW stands for Organic Fraction Municipal Solid Waste

OFMSW, or Organic Fraction Municipal Solid Waste, refers to the biodegradable components of municipal solid waste that originate from household and commercial sources. This fraction typically includes food scraps, garden waste, and other organic materials that can decompose naturally. Effective management and processing of OFMSW are essential for enhancing waste reduction strategies, promoting composting practices, and contributing to sustainable waste management solutions. By recycling organic waste, communities can reduce landfill burden, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and create nutrient-rich compost for agricultural and landscaping purposes.
