Yes, there are several alternatives to traditional landfilling:
Recycling: Recycling can significantly reduce the volume of waste that ends up in landfills. Materials like paper, plastic, glass, and metals can be reprocessed and reused. Incineration: Waste-to-energy incineration can reduce the volume of waste and generate electricity, but it also produces air pollutants and requires stringent controls. Composting: Organic waste can be composted to produce valuable soil amendments, reducing the methane emissions from landfills. Zero Waste Initiatives: These initiatives aim to redesign resource life cycles so that all products are reused, and no trash is sent to landfills or incinerators.
