Waste production or crop harvest? - Report from the UK

摘要

Currently the options for waste disposal are limited. The cost of landfilling green waste is increasing every year. This is a deliberate policy to deter landfilling of biologically active wastes that lead to a build up of methane gas in landfill sites and the production of liquid wastes. Apart from the pollution problems this creates, it also makes redevelopment more difficult and limits its scope when the useful life of the landfill site is over.
