File name | Solid Waste Management And Greenhouse Gases |
File Description | In the 21st century, management of municipal solid waste (MSW) continues to be an important environmental challenge facing the United States. In 2003, the United States generated 236.2 million tons of MSW, an increase of 15 percent over 1990 generation levels and 168 percent over 1980 levels. Climate change is also a serious issue, and the United States is embarking on a number of voluntary actions to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) that can intensify climate change. By presenting material-specific GHG emission factors for various waste management options, this report examines the interrelationship between MSW management and climate change. |
