sustainable landfill design

Sustainable landfill design focuses on managing waste responsibly while minimizing environmental impact. It involves lining landfills with protective barriers to prevent soil and water contamination, installing systems to capture and reuse landfill gases like methane, and ensuring proper leachate treatment to protect water sources. Design also emphasizes space efficiency and future land use, often incorporating environmental features such as ongoing monitoring and vegetation cover. These practices help reduce pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and health risks, ensuring landfills are safer for nearby communities and the environment over their lifespan and beyond.
