GHG emissions from waste occur during the <br />2 <br />breakdown of organic waste in landfills. The primary GHG released from landfills is methane, <br />which is twenty-one times more efficient at trapping heat than CO. These emissions are <br />2 <br />considered to be Scope 3 emissions because they are not generated in the base year, but will <br />result from the decomposition of the 2003 waste over the full 100+ year cycle of its <br />decomposition. Paper products constitute the largest percentage of GHG emissions from waste, <br />with food waste being the second largest emitter. <br />xi <br />Table 13: 2005 Landfill Community GHG Emissions <br />2010-2011 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory, City of University City, MO 20 <br /> <br /> <br />
