Waste collection and processing release a significant amount of methane gas, a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 84 times greater than carbon dioxide. Diverting <br />waste from the landfill and optimizing collection and disposal not only reduces processing emissions, it increases the supply of recycled and composted content available for a <br />variety of uses and helps improve local air and soil quality. <br />Supporting Actions <br />E8.

Sustainable consumption can increase waste diversion, which supports local air <br />and soil quality improvements. It also supports the local economy and can strengthen social ties and financial resilience as communities rely more on local businesses. <br />Supporting Actions Cumulative Emissions Reduced through 2030 (IT1TCO2e) <br />B.
