Are these our best solutions?
Waste landfills are getting more and more costly as the population continues to rise and land will continue to be a premium resource. Furthermore, organic waste in landfills emits methane, which is a known greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere and is widely believed to be adding to the global warming problem.
Trucking wastes to the landfills also create additional emissions which further exacerbates the problem.
When it comes to incinerators, in additional to their smell and sight that is unwelcomed in any community, their emissions including carbon dioxide, particulates and others are also contributing to the greenhouse effect.
Moreover, food waste consists of mostly water and thus it takes tremendous amount of energy just to evaporate the water content.
