hmmm I’m not sure what solutions your talking about. but a household solution such as cleaning products, are often an widely used. besides recycling the plastic container; it would be very beneficial to use hydrogen based products instead of bleach-chlorine ones . the reason is because hydrogen based products have no chemical waste to them. hydrogen peroxide is hydrogen bonded (water) and just dissolves. chlorine bleach leaves a chemi residue behind. hydrogen peroxide is just as good as chlorine bleach. hope this helps

Much of wastes can be recycled if effort is put in by local governments to provide the facilities, and effort from the people. Recycling reduces wastes as the recyclables are sorted from the actual waste. If more materials are recycled, some of the solid landfill problems it would solve include:
1. Prolong the life of existing landfills.
2. Reduce the need for creation of new landfills and incineration plants, thereby maximising efficient land use.
3. Burn less rubbish, less harmful gases evolved from the buring of substances such as plastics would be reduced.
In respect to natural resources, many metals can be recycled. This reduces the need for new ores and minerals to be mined. Recycling paper also helps to save the world’s forests.
