Nowadays, waste generation and waste management are among the top environmental issues. Without proper waste handling, waste decomposes and gas is released. About 50-70% of this gas is methane and carbon dioxide, which cause the greenhouse effect.

Scientists from the Research Institute of Environmental Protection at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU) – prof. habil. dr. Pranas Baltrėnas and prof. dr. Edita Baltrėnaitė – have an idea how to reduce the growing amount of waste, fight the greenhouse effect and negative impact on environment by using small bioreactors.
