Financial Analysis of Solid Waste Management Business Models
This report by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI), commissioned by the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives (GAIA), provides a financial analysis of organic solid waste management (SWM) business models in Indonesia and Brazil. Through case studies in Bandung and various Brazilian municipalities, the report compares the cost-efficiency, funding structures, and viability of government-operated, private, and decentralized models (such as community groups and waste picker cooperatives). It highlights that while large-scale projects receive the vast majority of methane abatement finance, decentralized models often show greater cost efficiency and significant social co-benefits, despite facing severe financial vulnerabilities and limited access to capital.
