| Popis: | Waste management is a global issue and must become a political priority. The costs of inaction due to an improper waste policy results in public health and environmental damage costs. The economic costs to a society of inaction are 5-10 times greater than the financial costs of proper waste management. Municipal waste (MW) is specific to all human agglomeration and its composition varies along the year, according to the climate conditions, but also with the level of the industrial development level of the region, and life style of the population. The state of art techniques to reduce the potential impact of MW upon health and climate change (through the reduction of uncontrolled methane and carbon dioxide emissions from uncontrolled MW management) offer two possibilities, in the frame of circular economy policy: (i) to turn the biodegradable fraction in biogas and further into bio-methane (ready to be used as green fuel replacing fossil natural gas), or (ii) to process it in waste incineration facilities (the present best available techniques are multiple, including flue gas cleaning). Also combinations of the two main techniques are available. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
