solid waste infrastructure

solid waste reycling and processing facilities

After many decades of disregarding the significant and detrimental human health and  environmental problems caused by the landfilling, dumping into oceans and burning municipal solid waste, most regions of the world have now enacted policies that require or encourage re-cycling and re-use of disposed materials that can be recycled, re-used or re-purposed; composting of biodegradable waste; and special processing of hazardous materials.  Furthermore, many solid wastes can also be combusted in waste-to-energy or dual-/ multi-fuel biomass generation facility for the production of heat and/or electrical energy.  These policies have generally resulted in lower solid waste volumes reaching landfills and a lower degree of water and air contamination risk from the materials entering landfills.

Despite the many positive public externalities provided by modern municipal solid waste systems, the solid waste industry has been challenged to provide cost-effective solutions related to development of capital- and often labor-intensive recycling, reuse/re-fabrication, and solid waste sorting and processing facilities.  Public officials and industry may be at odds, where both need to provide solutions that will facilitate environmental objectives, but also avoid significant increases in the garbage disposal tariffs, fees and taxes borne by regional households and businesses.
