Garbology concerns

SEMARANG: Most of the garbage in Semarang, amounting to more than
4,000 cubic meters a day, can be recycled into fertilizer or
other reusable materials, thereby mitigating pollution, said a
lecturer on Saturday.

Safrudin, a lecturer from the Environmental Technology school
at Diponegoro University, said that some 97.55 percent of garbage
consisted of vegetable matter, leftover food, plastic, tin cans
and other things that can be reprocessed.

The remaining 2.55 percent of garbage could not be recycled or
could endanger the environment, he said without specifying. --
