Description

Organic solid wastes (d) constitute the predominant component in the waste stream by volume in the municipality of developing countries. They are the main source of decay, odor, leachate and a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions when collected, transported and landfilled. As a result, countries have been incorporating alternative forms of waste management strategies such as energy recovery, incineration, and composting to overcome the above mentioned problem.
