Details

*_waste_disposal methods: "Open-loop" is the process of recycling material into other products. "Closed-loop" is the process of recycling material back into the same product. "Combustion" energy is recovered from the waste through incineration and subsequent generation of electricity. "Compost" CO2e emitted as a result of composting a waste stream. "Landfill" the product goes to landfill after use. "Anaerobic digestion" energy is recovered from the waste through anaerobic digestion.
