@Chibeau Looks like it reduces pollution by macro objects, but it's hardly a robust water treatment system. #microplastics #leachate

#Landfill #leachate: Some landfills will begin treating #PFAS on-site as regulators move to adopt new limits. Companies such as Casella Waste Systems and Waste Connections are building their own #wastewater treatment plants for leachate and testing a range of technologies as the industry awaits standards. #pollution https://www.wastedive.com/news/pfas-landfill-leachate-epa-casella-waste-connections/639462/

Leachate is the result of the excess moisture that you can collect from a #worm bin

The main problem that you will have from it is that there is a good chance that this liquid will be anaerobic. Bad #bacteria have developed in this liquid because it has been standing for too long without oxygen.

To avoid this issue it is best to adjust the amount of water in your worm bin and have no #leachate.
