On the World Environment Day<\/strong>, that was celebrated worldwide on June, 5th, the Brazilian television network TV Globo<\/strong> broadcasted a service on Belo Horizonte landfill. The report showed some pictures of the site including an excerpt from the video<\/strong> <\/a>realized by Asja last year when the biogas-to-energy plant it had built on the landfill in 2011 obtained the Gold Standard certification<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Belo Horizonte landfill, which had been storing up to 4,000 ton of waste per day until 2007, represented a long-standing environmental risk for the surrounding territory. Thanks to Asja\u2019s plant, the landfill has become a model of sustainability<\/strong> for the country and a reference point for environmental education projects implemented in partnership with local schools. In consideration of its positive impact and co-benefits, the project was certified under the Gold Standard label.<\/p>\n
