The document proposes two options for converting municipal solid waste into valuable products instead of sending it to landfills. Option 1 involves collecting trash and converting it into fuel through a four-step process at a community-based biorefinery. Option 2 uses a five-step process to collect trash and convert it into electricity using curtain burning technology attached to an energy-producing turbine at community-based plants. The document outlines the potential revenues that could be generated from such projects and provides an overview of the services that SRCGlobal can provide to help municipalities implement these waste conversion options.

Urban waste:
Includes municipal solid waste (MSW), which comprises residential, institutional and
commercial “garbage”, as well as construction and demolition debris (C&D). MSW mainly
consists of paper, glass, metals, household plastics, wood, yard trimmings, food scraps,
rubber, leather and textiles, while C&D debris is usually comprised of concrete, wood,
drywall, asphalt, metal, bricks and unrecyclable industrial plastics
Over 400 million tons of MSW is generated in the USA annually.
4. The benefits of converting non-recyclable urban waste into high-value products, as a
sustainable alternative to disposal, are numerous.
• Communities benefit from a cost-effective and sustainable waste management option.
• Consumers benefit from a clean energy produced from more affordable feedstock.
• Because MSW is readily available in all urban and rural areas, bioenergy production facilities,
and the green jobs they create, can take place in a geographically diverse manner.
• Alternative transportation fuels created from waste are cleaner, thereby they can reduce
overall greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent.
PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
• Less waste in landfills means less methane gas. Methane has 25 times more global warming
impact than CO2, and is normally released from the decomposition of materials in landfills.
• Community based waste-to-bioenergy plants are complementary with existing recycling
programs.
Translates into a potential of more than 12 billion gallons of green fuels.
