The collaboration between the US and China on waste management, particularly reducing greenhouse gas emissions from landfills and mitigating plastic and food waste pollution, holds significant promise in tackling global environmental challenges. Methane emissions from landfills represent a substantial environmental issue, contributing over 15% of total emissions in both China and the US. To address this, enhancing methane estimation accuracy and promoting landfill gas to energy (LFGTE) methods are crucial. Additionally, managing food and plastic waste is essential to reducing landfill methane emissions and fostering a sustainable future.
