What's the tech behind waste burning? How is this still not clean?

how haven't we solved this yet for landfills

It is? Pulled from my local incinerators website.

The DYEC operates under some of the most stringent air emission guidelines in the world. Human health and the environment are primary concerns for both Durham and York Regions. The Regions have undertaken a series of detailed studies on air emissions, health, traffic, noise, ground and surface water to assess any potential effects from the DYEC to ensure that residents and the environment are protected. Results of the Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessment studies in the Environmental Assessment concluded that the DYEC would not lead to any adverse health risks to the public or environment.

We lose material burning waste instead of recycling. This is not sustainable.

Dude the earth is 100% material

Plastic contains Carbon atoms,
this means during incinerating waste, these atoms will usually bond with Oxygen forming CO or CO2, if you filter that, it's all fine though.

Issue is you may also have to filter smaller amounts of oxidized sulfur or hydrochloric acid or worst case hydroflouric acid

none of these things is as dangerous as shit chemical companies pour into rivers

Landfills are great. Pretty much everything can go in them and they are engineered in such a way to not plague the environment.
The only issue they have is that you need enough empty land for them to be viable.

We'll burn it all one day

>>106125683
If we cant find a solution by that day we deserve to die

Mr Clueless, good thing the internet is shutting down.

Solution exists: recycle.

>toxic gasses
Main problems used to be dioxines. that is now a solved problem by burning materials in a furnace with temperature controlled chambers. Old landfills still leak dioxines into rivers, ground water and the sea.

Sorry still not sorting my garbage. Into the trash it goes.

Is there even anything 'below' a landfill or are we just dumping it into an open area.

>how haven't we solved this yet
It's solved in the 1st world.
Most of those incinerators even produce electricity and heat in the winter and are cleaner as a coal power plant.

Also metal gets automatically extracted and recyceld.

But 3rd world places like murica just don't have the technology to do.

>toxic gasses
>good od pure pollutant smoke
Yes, that is what happens when you burn things. Any pollutants in that thing have to go somewhere.

Bacteria are living organisms. Living organisms can be killed, usually in the same way. The things you want to burn are inorganic. Plastics, heavy metals, etc... They cannot be killed, and while different chemical solutions exist to turn some of these chemicals into less toxic substances, no universal solutions exist.

If there were a chemical that could react with ANYTHING that might possibly be found in someone's trash can, to reduce it all into some non-toxic form... how in the hell could you find a container for such a chemical? It would have to be reactive with EVERYTHING, including its own container!
