Landfills are a significant source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, as decomposing organic waste releases methane and CO2 into the atmosphere. It is estimated that landfills contribute around 18% of total methane emissions globally, which is a potent greenhouse gas with a higher impact on climate change than CO2. The exact amount of CO2 produced by landfills can vary depending on factors such as waste composition, management practices, and environmental conditions.

How much co2 does mulch produce?

Mulch itself does not produce CO2. Instead, when organic mulch decomposes, it releases small amounts of CO2 as a byproduct of the natural decomposition process. The amount of CO2 released will depend on factors such as the type of mulch, its thickness, and environmental conditions.
