The dataset represents the waste treatment activity of \"municipal solid waste\" in a sanitary landfill. The recommended use of this dataset is for the average municipal/public waste mixture. It is not suitable to represent any single specific waste such as plastics, paper, cardboard. The characteristics of municipal solid waste in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province are as follows: food waste 50.65%, paper 13.98%, rubber 17.04%, textile (fiber) 5.16%, wood and bamboo 6.68%, ash and soil 0%, brick, tile and ceramics 0.32%, glass 4.02%, metal 1.26%, other 0%. Moisture content 57. 03%, higher heating value 7089.1 kJ/kg, lower heating value 5179.22 kJ/kg. The carbon share of initial waste, i.e., 60.4% from biogenic sources. The proportion of non-oxidized and largely recoverable metals in the waste (excluding very small or very thin components): Iron: 60.03%; Aluminum: 17.81%; Copper: 72.83%. Overall degradation rate of waste over 100 years: 18.73%. Degradability of components making up the waste: Paper: 27%; Mixed cardboard: 32% 4% plastic: 1%; laminated materials: 18%; laminated packaging, such as drink cartons: 18%; composite goods, such as diapers: 18%; glass: 0%; textiles: 12%; minerals: 0%; natural products: 27%; compostable materials: 27%; inert metals: 10%; volatile metals: 0%; batteries: 0%; electronics: 0%; landfill gas capture and utilization generate 2.26E-04 kWh of electricity and 8.13E-01 MJ of useful heat.
