One of the intelligent Waste Solutions we can employ is to separate the waste stream into increased recyclables and RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel). The waste has to go somewhere. One choice is to use our nations technology advantage to increase recycling and create a fuel which reduces our requirement on coal. The other is to landfill the waste and contribute to contribute to the Greenhouse Gas problem because Landfills are responsible for significant methane emissions -- and Methane is one of the most damaging GHG sources.
Here's an example of how a progressive American Company is promoting advanced recycling while creating a renewable fuel source and diverting waste from the landfill.
