The Extended Producer Responsibility Alliance (EXPRA) expresses its worries over the challenges that 18 Member States (MS) are facing in achieving the targets defined by the Waste Framework Directive (WFD) and Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD).

Garbage not only poses a threat to human health but also affects the well-being of wildlife populations.

One of the most misunderstood technologies in some parts of the world and widely adopted technologies in others is the recovery of energy and materials by the controlled combustion of post-recycling wastes.

The transformation of what was once the world’s largest landfill into a sustainable park makes the project a symbol of renewal and an expression of how we can re-imagine reclaimed landscapes

Prioritize Diversion of Biodegradable Waste from Landfills

This study was based on the hypothesis that, on the average, methane generation is proportional to the tonnage of wastes landfilled annually.

Prof. Nickolas J. Themelis, director of the Earth Engineering Center at Columbia University discusses an article on dioxin emissions in three European waste-to-energy plants published published in January by Zero Waste Europe.

We are pleased to welcome Professor Hani Ahmad as the new representative in Jordan

The findings suggest adoption of improved waste management options that will increase waste collection rates, drive a circular waste value chain, and reduce emissions in the waste sector.

An empirical model was developed and employed to estimate annual methane (CH4) emissions from two Danish landfills (Skellingsted and AV Miljø).

This paper presents the gas collection efficiencies of 23 Danish landfills and suggests how these values could be used to regulate landfill methane emissions in Denmark.

This study compares methane (CH4) emissions from five Icelandic landfills, quantified using tracer gas dispersion to modelled emission rates using the IPCC FOD model.

Waste is responsible for roughly 20 percent of global methane emissions from human activities, and dramatically scaling up efforts to reduce these emissions can deliver important health and economic development benefits. Launched today, the GMP Waste Pathway will focus initially on reducing emissions across the solid waste value chain, from upstream sources to downstream disposal sites.

In today's world, "decarbonization" seems to be the most important buzzword in environmental and climate policy. It is probably due to the general fascination with "geoengineering" that many first think of carbon capture and storage.

As atmospheric methane concentrations increase at record pace, it is critical to identify individual emission sources with high potential for mitigation.
