Landfill sites amount to a very small portion of overall land usage of human industry. Beyond making sure reusable and affordably recyclable stuff is not being wasted, the wider environment is not improved or significantly relieved by expensive efforts to reduce landfill. The immediate environmental action priorities should surely be: - Taking waste out of habitat ( collection and filtration ) - Reducing waste going into habitat ( biodegradable material use, design re-usability and reliability, affordable recycling ) - Study and assist heavily disrupted natural systems. We don't have to be able to reprocess all of the waste collected since there is relative space to simply store it while we work on the technology and clean energy supply to make it reusable. I believe advanced landfill as a long term waste curing and storage ability should be considered a big part of urgent clean industry and not characterised as a major problem in itself.
