Methane and carbon dioxide emissions from dumpsites and landfills are a driver of global warming. Developing waste management systems with separate collection of biowaste and pre-treatment of residual materials not only supports recycling, substitution of fossil fuels, and resource protection - it is also a huge lever to fight climate change.
