The Pusztazámor landfill is the largest Hungarian domestic waste landfill site
which was built in 2000, employing state-of-the-art technology. The placement of domestic
waste started in 2000 and will, in all probability, continue until 2005. In the first of three
placement segments, a gas extraction system with a gas booster station and a flare system was
started-up in autumn 2006 in one section to be able to design the final gas utilisation plant with
regard to the gas quantity and quality. After a test operation (pumping trail) of only 6 months, it
turned out that the gas quality is suitable for the utilisation in a gas engine, even in accordance
with the strict TA air 2002 requirements. However, the usual West-European gas prognosis
models cannot fully be applied to Hungary. The conservative designs and calculations regarding
the amount of gas will probably be exceeded by a factor of “1.5 to 2”. Reasons for this could be
the mild climate and higher water introductions into the landfill body. The effect on the
chronological course of the gas production remains to be seen

Waste management poses challenges, but could unlock major environmental and economic gains
Every day, the city of Rio de Janeiro, one of the largest metropolises in the Southern Hemisphere, generates 17,000 tonnes of waste, ranging from large industrial debris to candy wrappers bought innocently at newspaper stands. While this waste presents a serious and urgent environmental challenge, it also fuels an increasingly significant portion of the economy, with benefits extending beyond financial gains. - When we look at developed European countries, many are already recycling between 40% and 50%, with some reaching 60%. From an economic standpoint, both recyclable materials and organic waste hold tremendous value - stated Adalberto Maluf, National Secretary for Environment and Environmental Quality at the Ministry of the Environment (MMA), during the Methane Forum: Climate Emergency Brake, at the Rio Nature and Climate Week. Citing a 2025 report, Maluf mentioned that Brazil literally throws away R$27 billion annually, while municipalities spend significantly more - R$45 billion - managing all this waste, often overlooking the environmental impact or economic potential buried in landfills and dumps. - We spend R$45 billion to collect and dispose of waste in landfills, yet we manage to recycle less than a third of the potential. I believe it will be necessary to review contracts, create performance-based remuneration mechanisms, and pay for both effectively sorted materials and those diverted from landfills - he added. According to the IBGE, 60.5% of Brazilian municipalities adopt some form of selective waste collection, and several initiatives serve as examples of how to manage city waste. In his panel presentation, Bernardo Ornelas, Project Coordinator at the Rio de Janeiro Municipal Urban Cleaning Company (Comlurb), highlighted Ecoparque do Caju, a national benchmark in waste management and recycling. There, received materials are sorted and can be used for biogas production, organic compounds for urban gardens, or human consumption, in the case of still...
