Phase A

Perlite Waste characteristics were investigated and an analysis was conducted in regards to the national, European and international legislative framework of waste disposal to sea and land alike. Processing and disposal alternatives were chosen in accordance with assessments on technical requirements, cost of carrying them out and yearly operative costs.
