Landfilling

Safe waste disposal

Despite measures to prevent waste in conjunction with efficient collection, splitting and reuse, some types of waste will always remain unusable.

Technically sophisticated storage solutions that are continuously monitored ensure that this type of waste is safely stored.

Decomposing waste in these landfills automatically produces landfill gas, which can be collected and used in various ways, for heating and electricity for example. This is done by applying the active degas system at all our big landfills.

FCC Environment CEE waste management centres comply with the highest safety standards.

Landfills as an alternative energy source

Landfill is often perceived negatively in the context of waste management, as a last resort for waste that is not recycled or otherwise (e.g. thermally) used. However, this may not be entirely true. Even landfills offer opportunities to exploit the potential of the waste they contain. The area they provide also offers opportunities. They become a source of alternative, green energy.
