The carbon footprint of waste-to-energy plants is clearly lower than the carbon footprint associated with landfilling. In fact, landfilling can generate double the amount of greenhouse gases as energy recovery per ton of waste treated, with a net balance almost 3.5 times higher. This is the main conclusion drawn from the study entitled Energy recovery…
