Landfill: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:47, 7 November 2019

The traditional approach to waste management in the UK offered containment and stabilisation in ‘Sanitary Landfill’. As new arrangements evolve to Reuse, Recycle, and Recover waste in line with the Waste Hierarchy, the need for Landfill has dropped and will continue to drop in developed countries – but ultimately there will always be a small element of waste that will need to be landfilled in a safe and secure way. In developing countries, with limited infrastructure, the delivery of Sanitary Landfill would represent a huge step forwards in protecting water resources and human health.

The Landfill Directive sets the types and standards required in the delivery of Landfill in the UK.
