Landfill alternative daily
cover (ADC)

Degradable plastic filmcover for daily, intermediate and long
term periods in landfills.

  • Can be degraded at controlled rates
  • Regulations in most countries require that landfills use adequate cover to:
    • control disease, fires, odours, blowing litter and
      scavenging in the short term.
    • minimise percolation of liquids through wastes in the
      intermediate and long terms.
    • increase site life by 25% through the conservation of
      valuable air space.
    • increase potential revenue generated from gate prices.
    • reduce operation costs on transporting, spreading,
      compacting inert cover material.
    • reduce costs on imported cover.
  • Inert material on the site reserved for restoration etc
  • Can be used in all types of weather - heavy rain, strong wind, snow, freezing and high temperature.
  • Sheds rainwater and reduces leachate generation
    from rainwater infiltration.
  • No interference with leachate and gas migration.
