Waste Today shares a new report from Industrious Labs, underscoring the need for stronger landfill methane standards in California—and highlights practical solutions already in use. Among the examples cited is OC Waste & Recycling's SMART Landfill Program at Frank R. Bowerman Landfill, which uses 24/7 sensors and real-time monitoring to track and manage emissions. The report demonstrates how technology can help cut landfill methane emissions. #LandfillEmissions #ClimateAction #MethaneReduction #WasteManagement #EnvironmentalPolicy #CARB #SmartLandfilling #SmartLandfilling #SettingtheStandard
