From 1980 to 2007, the amount of municipal waste from around the globe has increased from 415 kg to 560 kg.
Most of this waste ends up in landfills.
Landfilling waste can lead to soil erosion, water pollution, and the depletion of the ozone layer. Hence, landfilling negatively affects the health of the environment.
To reduce this negative effect waste has on the environment, many techniques…
