Introduction

The Comoros is a country where environmental degradation is a matter of great concern, the effects of which are becoming increasingly visible [1]. The phenomenon can be observed in several sectors of the country, with the waste sector being one of the most visible in recent decades. Mountains of garbage can be seen everywhere in the streets of the country’s cities, and the phenomenon is even spreading to the villages. On average, a Comorian produces between 0.3 and 0.6 kg of waste per day [2], which, taking into account the average number of people in a Comorian household (5 people [3]), means that between 1.5kg and 3kg of waste is produced per household per day. Added to this are the energy problems of which the population is the first victim, particularly low-income citizens who cannot afford autonomous energy systems.
