Greener Grounds: Advancing Sustainable Sanitary Landfills

Overview

As the need for sustainable waste management grows, sanitary landfills remain a critical component of responsible infrastructure. This webinar explores how engineering innovation, regulatory compliance, and environmental solutions can work together to build better landfills for a greener future.

This session will provide technical insights into the planning, design, and operation of sanitary landfills in the Philippines. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of national regulations, landfill engineering, and how proven solutions from Maccaferri can support long-term waste management goals. Real-world applications and case studies will demonstrate how sustainability and functionality can coexist in solid waste disposal systems.

Key Takeaways

• Solid Waste Generation in the Philippines – Understand trends, projections, and current national figures related to solid waste output.
• Classification of Disposal Facilities – Differentiate between open dumps, controlled dumps, and categorized landfills, with emphasis on technical and legal distinctions.
• Regulatory Framework – Review key provisions of RA 9003 and DAO-2001-34, including cover requirements and facility compliance standards.
• Sanitary Landfill Components – Explore the major elements of engineered landfills, such as liners, leachate collection, drainage systems, gas vents, and access roads.
• Maccaferri’s Engineered Solutions – Learn about the role of geosynthetics, double-twist wire mesh, and bioengineered products in creating more sustainable and effective landfill systems.
