Landfills destruction processes

The treatment costs using the DETOX process are substantially lower than those using traditional technologies such as incineration, landfill disposal, and alternative destructive technologies. Treatment costs for the process are equivalent to or less costly than nondestructive technologies such as encapsulation (D10163T, p. 2). 

In the western world, food is produced, processed, transported, sold, driven home and then, 33% of the time, thrown into the bin for landfill. Then in landfill, methane gas is given off, which is far more destructive than C02. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and salads make up the largest category of waste, according to the The UK s Waste Resources Action Program (WRAP) report, clocking in at 1.4 million ton per year (Moore, 2008).
