Deodorant Cannons

Giant Deodorizing Guns are Beijing's Solution to Landfill Odors

— May 5, 2010 — Eco
China’s newest weapon is not your typical gun—more like a weapon against smelling bad. The giant deodorizing guns are China’s way of masking Beijing’s landfill issues, simply by covering the smell.

The ever growing city is facing more and more problems with the amount of garbage infiltrating their landfills, and scent obviously goes hand in hand with this issue. Apparently the city only recycles 4% of its garbage, causing huge issues with where to put it. The giant deodorizing guns are able to spray up to a distance of 164 feet, neutralizing smells across entire landfills. And what a solution it is.
Trend Themes
1. Garbage Management - The use of giant deodorizing guns highlights the trend of finding innovative solutions to manage and neutralize smells from landfill sites.
2. Urban Waste Disposal - The growing issues with garbage in overcrowded cities like Beijing create opportunities for disruptive innovations that address the challenges of waste disposal and odor control.
3. Environmental Technology - The development of giant deodorizing guns showcases the trend of using advanced technology to tackle environmental issues and create cleaner and healthier living environments.
Industry Implications
1. Waste Management - The waste management industry can explore the use of deodorizing cannons as a disruptive innovation to improve odor control and landfill management.
2. Environmental Services - In the field of environmental services, there are opportunities to develop new solutions, such as deodorizing cannons, to address the challenges of odor pollution in urban areas.
3. Sustainability Solutions - Sustainable technology companies can leverage the idea of deodorizing cannons as a disruptive innovation to provide odor control solutions for landfill sites and promote sustainable waste management practices.
