1. A process for producing a fermentation product, comprising:
(a) treating Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) with an enzyme composition comprising a cellulolytic background composition present at a ratio between 40-99% w/w of the total enzyme protein, and further comprising:
ii) a protease present at a ratio between 5-15% w/w of the total enzyme protein;
iii) a lipase present at a ratio between 2.5-7.5% w/w of the total enzyme protein; and/or
iv) a beta-glucanase present at a ratio between 10-20% w/w of the total enzyme protein; and wherein the enzyme composition further comprises one or more enzymes selected from the group consisting of a pectate lyase, a mannanase, and an amylase;
