Actual landfills are, at least where I live, heavily regulated and use quite a lot of technology and engineering to minimize their impact. And landfilling itself is actually being abandoned here, AFAIK you can’t start a new landfill anymore and the costs of landfilling will be artificially jacked up in order to soften the final ban in ~6 years.
- thfuran 2y agoMeaning you're about to start exporting a lot of garbage to jurisdictions with laxer regulations on landfills?
- oskarw85 2y agoExactly. Such a policy doesn't do anything to curb the amount of waste. It just shifts it to poorer regions and lines Mafia pockets with money
- Toutouxc 2y agoIdeally this should lead to an uptick in recycling and switch the rest to incineration (and electricity generation).
