WASTE TO ENERGY
ZERO RESIDUES®
The Problem:
Landfills & Leachates
Landfills
Require complex civil works.
Need double geomembrane, pumps and pipes for leachates treatment.
Big expansions cause closed landfills which can pollute freshwater sources.
High levels of methane and carbon dioxide emissions, harmful to the environment.
Landfill Leachates
Are liquid pollution that seep through a landfill's waste piles when it rains or snows. They contain numerous toxic chemicals, many of which are known to cause serious health and environmental issues when not managed to the highest of standards.
"Leachate from landfills can cause cancer and other serious harm, and it's a threat whether it's ingested, inhaled or touched,“
