Landfill sites are believed to be responsible for most of Europe’s current greenhouse gas emissions which derive from household waste. However, the report from the [...]
The Environment Agency has released a consultation assessing the diversion of biodegradable municipal waste (BMW) from MBT. The consultation concerns the sampling and testing needed to achieve adequate quantitative monitoring of the reduction in biodegradability in the treated BMW. The consultation should be available shortly at: The Environment Agency’s current consultations page.
