The traditional approach to waste management in the UK offered containment and stabilization in ‘Sanitary Landfill’. As new arrangements evolve to [[Reuse]], [[Recycle]], and [[Recover]] waste in line with the [[Waste Hierarchy]], the need for Landfill has dropped and will continue to drop in developed countries – but ultimately there will always be a small element of waste that will need to be landfilled in a safe and secure way. In developing countries, with limited infrastructure, the delivery of Sanitary Landfill would represent a huge step forwards in protecting water resources and human health.
