Hazardous wastes treatment and disposal at the University of Freiburg

Abstract

This presentation gives an overview of our flexible hazardous waste disposal system with high level in occupational health and safety technical standards based on advanced waste processing procedures. While the amount of disposal increased by 25% in the last 25 years,costs were lowered by 80 %. A wide spectrum of compounds is able to be mixed by a specific separation of eight different waste categories and disposed in large bundles. The disposal system is simple; it avoids accidents and combines ecological and economic advantages.
