Safe handling of landfills
A safe and secure handling of our landfills is crucial for our ability to retain and uphold our environmental permits. But we also consider our landfills as material banks, from which we can turn waste into resources. Hence, our material banks are a strong enabler in our journey towards circularity.
In the process of detoxifying the circular systems, landfills are necessary for certain types of waste. It is our top priority that storage in our landfills is safe. Ragn-Sells owns and operates a number of landfills that are subject to environmental permits, which are continuously controlled by authorities and by our own self-monitoring programmes at the landfills.
Landfill gas is generally considered to be an environmental problem due to its potential for climate change. However, it can also be seen as an energy carrier and a resource.
