Compare and contrast two waste disposal schemes

One of the most concerned environmental issues is about how to deal with waste. There are two possible waste disposal schemes, which are zero-waste and land-filling. Both of the two schemes have advantages and disadvantages. First, zero-waste is more environmental than land-filling. Land-filling is the oldest method to deal with waste. However, it still remains the same as before, just simply filling waste into land without any treatment. This will causes pollution near that area, especially land pollution and water pollution which can affect people’s daily life greatly. In contrast, land-filling is more economy than zero waste. According to Joanna, C, one premise of zero-waste is everything we buy and use will be made from materials that can be repaired, reused and recycled. However, this cannot easily reach in many developing countries. It is relatively difficult for those countries to invest in researching such material, and the price of the domestic goods will also increase. For these two schemes, they both have advantages and disadvantages. When choosing which schemes to use, we need to match up with the country’s condition. Like my country china, as a developing country, land-filling is more suitable. Zero-waste products have relative high prices, and most consumers will prefer cheap goods than zero-waste products. And it can hardly form its own market. But for land-filling, China has vast place to fill waste, where have little effects on people’s life. Till now, land-filling is more suitable for China than zero-waste
