Abstract
In order to comply with the EU landfill directive (Bosnia and Herzegovina is a potential candidate for a membership in the European Union) and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as to save important resources, mechanical biological treatment of municipal solid waste is a promising waste treatment option compared to open dumping and in particular large size landfilling. Mechanical biological waste treatment shows high potential to reduce direct GHG emissions through avoiding methane generation in landfills. Besides, indirect GHG can be reduced by replacing primary products or fossil energy by recycling products and renewable energy, which are less greenhouse gas emission intensive. Key words: municipal solid waste management, greenhouse gas emissions, mechanical-biological treatment, landfill gas, material recovery.
