ABSTRACT

Drees (95) is not in favour of government interference, but he does recognize that government regulation of dumping charges for demolition waste in heavily populated areas must be regulated if recycling plants are going to have a realistic chance to survive. He also recommends that any requirements to recycled products which are superfluous from a technical point of view, should be abandoned. Furthermore, he belives that the risk of pollution of ground water by seepage from clean demolition waste is exaggerated and that many current requirements to cleanness of such materials could be relaxed. This would certainly promote more extensive use of recycled demolition waste.
