A study of Aalborg in Northern Denmark has measured the impact of waste management changes and found that the city is now able to produce energy while saving on greenhouse gas emissions ? where most cites use energy and create GHG emissions.
The findings have been published recently in Waste Management & Research (an ISWA publication). It is one of the few studies of recent times that have revealed the results of better waste management over the longer term. Historical data from the municipality of Aalborg was used, as well as assessments of sewage sludge, food waste, yard waste and other organic waste.
