This paper reviews the historical developments in landfill technology and its drawbacks. It introduces phytocapping, in light of previous research, as a promising, eco-friendly and sustainable technology for municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill covers in order to reduce landfill gas and leachate generation. This paper highlights the challenges to successful phytocapping, such as selection criteria for appropriate plants and growth media, and the importance of new research into overcoming these challenges. It also presents a database of plants used in landfill phytocapping studies worldwide. In addition, the performance, economics, and sustainability of phytocapping technology are evaluated in comparison to ordinary MSW landfill methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
