The management and treatment of urban solid waste enables it to be reintegrated into production cycles, minimizing its impact on the environment and promoting sustainable development by making better use of natural resources.
Waste treatment plants must be equipped with the latest technologies and be rigorously designed in accordance with applicable waste management and environmental regulations to be approved by the competent authority after environmental impact assessment.
One of the key processes in waste treatment plants is the control and treatment of lixiviates. These liquids are highly toxic and dangerous for the environment, so they must be properly treated through biological processes, physical-chemical processes or filtration systems before being discharged to a wastewater treatment plant.
