The landfills, the sustainable development and the geosynthetics

Abstract

The integrated waste management brings to consider a sanitary landfill as the last link of the treatment process. The increasing social sensitivity to the environmental impacts as well as the change of the National and European regulations induces a significant alteration of the storage concept. The bioreactor, digestor, bio-mechanical pre-treatment are concepts which are presented in this paper. Their knowledge is required to boost the application of geosynthetics in the field of waste disposal.
