Benefits of Enviro™ Cover

• Increases landfill capacity by 15-50% , conserving valuable airspace and extending the life of the landfill
• Substantially reduces the costs of importing, moving and placing soil or earthen cover material and related personnel or equipment costs
• Rapid covereage of the working face and easy application
• can be deployed in heaving rain, winds, and freezing or hot temperatures
• provides effective continuous 24-hour coverage for daily and extended cover preiods
• provides impermeable barrier protection that sheds rainwater to minimize leachate generation and treatment costs
• provides impermeable barrier protection to prevent the escape of odours, air intrusion and greenhouse gas emissions
• no removal cost or delay in cover operations
• reduces surface dust and wind-blown litter
• controls and prevents odours, disease vectors and scavenging
• Impermeable polyethylene material encourages water runoff
• once buried in the landfill, degradable Enviro Cover will not impede leachate and landfill gas movement as can be the case with low permeability earthen materials when used as cover
• no messy cleanup of application equipment
• presents aesthetically pleasing earthen colours
• allows temporary relocation of the working face to other parts of the landfill while Enviro Cover provides continuous protection
• Uses the same applicator equipment (Enviro Cover Deployer) for daily, extended or intermediate cover applications
• Controls erosion of soil side slopes.
