6. Our point of view.

1.1 Inert Waste. What it is ? Inert waste is waste that is stabilisated. It can't react in chemical, thermical or any other physical way.

1.2. Inert Waste: How to produce ? You can produce this waste with incineration. It is the part of material which can't be burned, mainly minerals. Or you can use mechanical biological threadment plants. First the waste is sorted with mechanical systems, after that it is composte or fertilisated. The educt can't react in any point of view.

2.1. A short swat analysis of inert waste: 1. Advantages: -> save, clean -> reuse of the land possible (golfcourse...) as inert waste shouldn't smell...

2.Dissadvantages: - Very expensive - MBA (mechanical biological plans) or incineration is needed, as a stepp for stabilisating the waste - inert waste isn't stabil in geological point of view: If you build a house on it, you could get complications ;-)

3. Oportunities -> EG -Directives (see Anex)

4. Threads: -> energetical reuse of waste is "better" , doesn't need place ;-)

5.2 Inert Waste Situation in Germany In Germany it is just allowed to disposal inert waste. At the moment it is mainly "produced" by incineration plans.
