Poor waste management – ranging from non-existing collection systems to ineffective disposal -causes air pollution, water and soil contamination. Open and unsanitary landfills contribute to contamination of drinking water and can cause infection and transmit diseases.

Proper waste management practices help prevent air, water, and soil pollution. Recycling also reduces the need for landfills and incineration, which can release harmful pollutants into the environment. Additionally, recycling can save energy and reduce carbon emissions associated with the production of new products.

Wastewater treatment processes help remove pollutants and harmful substances from wastewater before it is released back into rivers, lakes and oceans. This prevents the contamination of water bodies and helps maintain the balance of aquatic ecosystems, safeguarding the health of plants, animals & marine life.

There may be odours, persistent wet spots and/or lush green growth in areas around your system. Your toilets might not be flushing away properly (usually on ground floor) and maybe making a gurgling noise. There could be leaking sewage from around a manhole cover. You may have tripping electrical systems (pumping stations and sewage treatment plants).

The variety of materials able to be processed and turned into Refuse Derived Fuel means that this practice poses huge environmental benefits, as less and less fossil fuels will be required in coal fired power plants, lime plants or cement plants.

Lower Carbon Footprint: When RDF is used as a substitute for fossil fuels, it helps reduce the carbon emissions associated with burning coal, oil, or natural gas. Although RDF does produce some emissions, its overall carbon impact is lower compared to fossil fuels.
