With the acceleration of industrialization and population growth, there has been a notable surge in municipal solid waste (MSW) production globally. This necessitates the development of efficient waste management strategies that align with sustainable economic, environmental, and social goals. Implementing sorting and source separation policies serves as foundational steps toward optimizing material flow and resource utilization.

- A study at the Nazlou Landfill in Iran used the HELP model to analyze factors influencing leachate generation, revealing that a lack of a final cover layer leads to increased leachate due to direct precipitation on waste layers.
- During periods of heavy rainfall, leachate generation can spike significantly—up to 37.59% in the immediate post-closure period—which poses challenges for landfills with limited treatment capacity.
- Scenarios showed that removing the geomembrane layer from the landfill's final cover could increase leachate quantity by 79.38%, but replacing it with 76 cm of dense clay could mitigate this issue.
