Project description

The Nimra Landfill project in Eilot, Israel, was a groundbreaking environmental initiative aimed at converting anaerobic landfill conditions into aerobic stabilization using in-situ bioreactor technology.


Over a period of seven years (2007–2013), the project treated 1,208,520 tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) across five carefully phased operations, significantly improving waste decomposition rates and reducing methane emissions.

As part of a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) program, Nimra demonstrated that older landfills could be sustainably managed without excavation, aligning waste management with international climate goals.
