Abstract: The most unstable part of municipal solid waste contains kitchen waste which creates major environmental problems through human activities. The study investigates the ecological impact of kitchen waste through detailed research which focuses on how methane forms and leachate cause groundwater contamination. The research evaluates the environmental effects of organic waste according to data from 2024 until 2026 which shows that organic waste emits 8 to 10 percent of global greenhouse gases. This assessment examines how food waste leads to the depletion of essential "embedded" resources, particularly land and freshwater.
    The present investigation reveals that contemporary waste disposal practices, specifically landfilling, engender environmental challenges that are inherently unsolvable. This research advocates for a circular bio-economy, illustrating the potential of anaerobic digestion and decentralized composting to mitigate ecological harm while simultaneously advancing international sustainability objectives.
