Every waste management system has its own environmental impact, whether it considers using a landfill, a waste incinerator, a composting plant or other technologies. This impact is determined by the kind of emissions released to the surrounding environment, in the air, in the ground and in the water.
In this page we ask you to insert some data which are useful to evaluate the environmental impact arising from the simultaneous application of all common social "alternatives" available today for the management of food waste included in the so-called: Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW).
If you wish, you may carry out this assessment alone, comparing in a overall view, in the next page, the values of the most common emissions resulting from the application of the following disposal systems:

• door to door collecting system;
• food waste disposers collecting system;
• compact food waste reduction system;
• modular food waste reduction system (modular dehydrating system);

to the chosen amount of OFMSW in a:

• landfill;
• composting plant;
• power station (waste incinerator generating electricity);
• anaerobic digester to generate biogas from wastewater treatment sludge.
