Reinforced polyethylene sheets are effective as daily cover because they combine strength, flexibility, and durability in a lightweight material. The reinforcement makes them resistant to tearing, punctures, and wind damage, allowing them to keep waste contained and dry even in challenging conditions.
They create a continuous barrier that controls odors, prevents litter from blowing away, and discourages pests from accessing the waste. RPE sheets are also easy to deploy and remove, which saves time and reduces labor compared to spreading soil. Their reuse capability further improves cost efficiency and conserves landfill space, as fewer materials are needed to achieve the same protective effect. Because they form a tight, impermeable layer, RPE sheets help reduce water infiltration and limit exposure of waste, supporting environmental compliance and safe landfill operations.
