Hazardous materials can be safely stored and disposed of by containing them in a reliable barrier, such as a geomembrane liner, that prevents leakage. When used in containment facilities such as tailings ponds, waste storage areas, and leach pads, geomembranes effectively isolate hazardous substances from the surrounding soil, groundwater, and surface water.
This containment helps confine toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and other pollutants. This minimizes the risk of environmental contamination and protects ecosystems and water resources. Geomembranes aid in the safe management of hazardous materials by facilitating their collection, containment, and proper disposal or treatment, in compliance with regulatory requirements.
