Sustainable Waste Management for the 21st Century
To approach "sustainable development" humans need to control emissions to water, air, and land. The developed nations are doing a fairly good job with regard to water and air, except for greenhouse gases (GHG).
by Prof. Nickolas J. Themelis
When it comes to controlling emissions to land, the U.S. is much behind Japan, Denmark, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Singapore and several other nations. What is less understood is the adverse impact of landfilling municipal solid wastes (MSW) on the land and also on GHG emissions.
