Projecting to 2050, the SWEET results for all climate-forcing pollutants indicated that the most significant emissions reductions compared to the baseline would come from ceasing open burning (50% reduction). Moderate reductions would come from capturing landfill gas (19% reduction) and negligible reductions would come from composting and recycling.
