The solubility studies were carried out under alkaline conditions similar to those anticipated in the near-field of a cement-based repository for low and intermediate-level radioactive waste. Experiments were conducted in NaOH solution, 95%-saturated Ca(OH)(2), water equilibrated wit...
well (ECJ2008; Eriksson et al.2010a,2010b).Footnote11 In parallel, the 2003 WEEE directive (regulating waste from electrical and electronic equipment) set recycling and reuse targets which were relevant in conjunction to some plastics with brominated flame retardants (EC2002).

It aims to harmonize the latter with the necessary technology to manage the waste cost-effectively. In so doing, it sets the hierarchy of waste management in priority order: “waste avoidance or waste minimization, then recovery, reuse, recycling, and finally disposal [41]. Hence, ESM lays ...
hazardous waste production whenever possible and promoting an "integrated life-cycle approach" to hazardous waste management, which involves promoting institutional controls from the generation of a hazardous waste to its storage, transport, treatment, reuse, recycling, recovery and final disposal [8]. ...
