Solid Waste Management and Greenhouse gases – A Life-Cycle Assessment of Emissions and Sinks

This report integrates information on the GHG implications of various management

options for some of the most common materials in MSW. To our knowledge, this work represents the most complete national study on climate change emissions and sinks from solid waste management practices. The report’s findings may be used to support a variety of programs and

activities, including voluntary reporting of emission reductions from waste management practices
