In theory, <br />composted waste represents a GHG emissions reduction because it is waste that was never <br />transported to and decomposed in a landfill. As a result, composted waste appears as a negative <br />value. Apart from the reduced volume in the waste material, composting stabilizes this waste <br />and destroys the pathogens in the waste material. Despite the appearance of composted waste as <br />a reduction, the data in this subsector is categorized as Scope 3 emissions, which means that it is <br />not included in the community emissions total. <br />xiii <br />Table 14: Community Composted Waste by Waste Type, 2005 <br />2010-2011 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory, City of University City, MO 21 <br /> <br /> <br />
