Landfill Mining
Landfill Mining is the process of excavating and processing waste materials from landfills to recover valuable resources. This technique aims to reduce the environmental impact of landfills by reclaiming materials such as metals, plastics, and organic matter, which can be recycled or repurposed.
The process typically involves digging up the waste, sorting it, and then treating it to extract usable materials. Landfill Mining not only helps in managing waste but also contributes to sustainability by promoting recycling and reducing the need for new raw materials.
