Concrete has become one of the most stylish options for flooring in homes. It is no longer just for driveways, patios, or sidewalks. Today, with the many options that are available, many people are choosing to integrate concrete into the home for a number of reasons.

Hazardous waste includes, of course, hospital waste, healthcare waste and infectious waste. Inert waste, as the name suggests, is a category of waste naturally not biodegradable, but especially not likely to burn or produce any chemical reaction either alone or with other compounds. Rubble and demolition waste fall into this category of waste that can be landfilled or used as backfill or underlay for traffic lanes. In reality, these materials are not insignificant and in particular, rainwater that percolates through give rise to leachates that can permanently pollute aquifers.
