Waste Degradation Time
Protection of our environment depends also on our daily behaviours and actions. Throwing in the street, sea or on the grass any type of rubbish will always cause an unpleasant situation or true damages.

In the framework of a modern municipal waste management, separate collection stands as the first and most important objective to achieve.This “good practice”, in fact, allows the attainment of several goals: - Reduction of the quantity of waste to be disposed of in the landfills or state-of-the art facilities; - material recovery –generated economic activities; - processing and disposal cost control to the advantage of citizens.
In the framework of “Waste Cycle Integrated Management” general development, technological innovation plays a fundamental role.Researching new technical and scientific solutions together with their practical application will improve the range of strategies aiming to recover and recycle waste, reducing the quantity destined for dump sites and at the same time to update the industrial production processes in order to increase the level of a general eco-sustainability.
Criminal organisations committing crimes that cause damage to the environment represent what is currently known as EcoMafia. The main illegal activities committed, and unfortunately, damaging the environmental balance are the trafficking and the illegal waste disposal, illegal housing and forests arson.
Compost is a soil amendment necessary to maintain the soil balance and its productivity. It is the aerobically decomposed remnants of organic matter, such as kitchen waste, leaves, grass or fruits, through the action of macro or microorganisms at a certain oxygen level and at specific temperatures.
When the “Waste Cycle Integrated Management” is mishandled the consequences, most of the times, will have an impact on the environment, leading to situations that can jeopardize the ecosystem of vast territories.The main environmental pollution causes in this sector are: - Criminal organisations’ illegal activities; - Dumping of industrial wastewater and sludge non-compliant with regulations; - Illegitimate use of waste treatment and disposal facilities; - Indiscriminate abandonment of dangerous and non-degradable materials.
The landfill is a site for the disposal of municipal solid waste and all the human-created waste (construction debris, industrial scrap, etc.) that cannot be recycled, gasified, sent for mechanical and organic treatment or used as fuel in the waste to energy plants.
