The co-treatment of municipal and industrial wastes.

Regulatory pressures are forcing major changes on the waste disposal industry. The proposed EU Directive on Landfilling of Waste, if implemented in its current form, will ban the co-disposal of industrial and municipal wastes in landfill. These developments indicate a likelihood that co-disposal will no longer be available as a disposal option for industrial wastes in the long term.
