Waste containing infectious agents must be decontaminated in a number of regulated situations, such as if it is generated in a hospital setting or if it's garbage being fed to swine (yes, you read that correctly). Yet waste is essentially exempt from these requirements if it is classified as garbage but headed to the landfill. Of course, it is well known that infectious substances are prevalent in garbage, hence the regulations in so many specific situations. Pathogens can be present in food waste, diapers, ...

While the cement industry is transitioning to alternative fuels wherever possible, coal remains a major energy source of the global cement industry. Still in 2018, over 80% of the cement industry’s energy source was fossil fuels. It takes nearly 200kg of coal to produce a metric ton of cement, and more than that is needed to produce just a single cubic meter of cement (typical cement density is 1,440 ...

Landfills are zoonotic pathogen breeding grounds, providing food sources and burrows for animals that are natural reservoirs of these pathogens. When human activity draws these animals from their natural habitats (which are more removed from people, livestock and domesticated animals), the chances of ‘spillover’ increases – this is when the pathogens can make the jump from animals to people, resulting in potential new ...

Whereas global coal fire power in 2000 stood at 1,057,885 MW, this figure has nearly doubled today, with 2,044,831 MW of operating coal ...

Ecogensus systems are ruggedized and designed for placement within the existing waste management infrastructure or simple (warehouse-style) new builds. Model EGS-5000L systems can be placed at a transfer station, a Materials Recovery Facility/MRF, a warehouse, or even at the landfill. The EGS-5000L then directly ‘replaces’ the landfill, by processing and converting the waste to a ...

When waste goes to a landfill, the organics break down and release about half CO2 and half methane. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, methane is 28-36 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2. Despite efforts to place containment measures and burn the methane in combustion engines on landfills (which still releases CO2), landfills are still the third largest source of methane emissions in the United States (according to 2017 data). Plus landfill gas is filled with other toxins – ...
