leachate recirculation

Leachate recirculation is a waste management technique used in landfills. It involves collecting the liquid that forms when rainwater seeps through waste, known as leachate, and then pumping it back into the landfill. This process helps break down organic materials more quickly by providing moisture and promoting the growth of microorganisms. Enhanced decomposition reduces landfill volume and can generate biogas, which can be captured for energy. Overall, leachate recirculation helps manage waste more efficiently while mitigating potential environmental impacts.
