Benefits of waste treatment

Waste reduction: Less waste will end up in landfills or the environment.

Circular economy: By recovering materials from the waste, they can be recycled and remain in circulation, as opposed to using new finite resources and burying waste in a linear system. 

Job creation: Running recycling plants creates jobs, including skilled ones.

Bottom line: Recovering resources from waste avoids landfill costs and generates revenue from the sale of recycling materials and RDF.

Energy generation: Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) can be used to generate renewable energy. 

Water: Treating waste in a proper manner avoids ground and surface water contamination. 

Odour: When organic waste is recovered, the foul smell associated with waste is avoided.
