THE government will phase out landfills as a waste-management method with studies underway to adopt more energy efficient and environmentally friendly methods, said Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin.

Zuraida said that the ministry is currently studying four methods – biomass waste management, waste-to-energy (WTE), incineration, and biodigestion – for their suitability for implementation based on location and type of waste.
