The dataset represents the waste treatment activity of \"municipal solid waste\" in a sanitary landfill. Recommended use of this dataset: for average municipal/public waste mixtures. It is not suitable to represent any single specific waste, such as plastics, paper, or cardboard. The characteristics of the municipal solid waste in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, are as follows: kitchen waste 44.76%, paper 13.96%, rubber 25.87%, textiles (fibers) 6.57%, wood and bamboo 3.29%, ash and soil 0%, bricks, tiles, and ceramics 1.44%, glass 1.36%, metals 1.39%, and other 1.37%. Moisture content 56. 51%, higher heating value 8627.63 kJ/kg, lower heating value 6667.68 kJ/kg. The carbon fraction of initial waste, i.e., 60.4% of biogenic origin. The proportion of unoxidized and largely recoverable metals in the waste (excluding very small or very thin components) is Iron: 60.03%; Aluminum: 17.81%; Copper: 72.83%. The overall 100-year degradation rate for waste: 18.73%.
