bioreactor landfill

A bioreactor landfill is an engineered waste facility designed to accelerate the natural decomposition of organic materials. Unlike traditional landfills, it actively manages moisture, oxygen, and waste placement to speed up microbial activity that breaks down waste. This process produces landfill gas, mainly methane and carbon dioxide, more efficiently, which can be captured and used for energy. The goal of a bioreactor landfill is to reduce the time waste remains in the ground, minimize environmental impacts, and recover energy, making it a more sustainable approach to waste management.
