Recycled plastics can serve as daily covers when they meet performance and environmental standards. These materials are often processed into sheets, flakes, or mats that can be spread over the waste to block odors, keep litter contained, and reduce access by pests.
Their lightweight and durable nature allows them to cover large areas efficiently without taking up as much space as soil. Because plastics are resistant to moisture and wind, they keep waste covered and dry even under challenging weather conditions. Operators must ensure that the recycled plastics are free of contaminants that could pose environmental or health risks.
