Probably a breach of the EU directive prohibiting the use as things stand. Unless of course they can prove that the asbestos is totally broken down in the processing.

Posted By steve e ashton Vitrification has been used on a number of projects in the UK already - T&N site in Glasgow for one. There are other technologies. See http://apps.em.doe.gov/o.../itsrs/itsr3114final.pdf for an evaluation report on thermo-chemical destruction. My gut feel is that landfill is always going to be a problem as existing landfill cells fill up. Alternatives will become more attractive economically. I like the thermo-chemical process - it looks very promising for a way forward (uses less power than vitrification and can cope with variable feedstock materials). Not yet clear how EPA / SEPA will view the first application in the UK though. My guess is that anyone who tries to import / license the technology here will have a major struggle to get approval - but then will have a serious profit generating opportunity available to them.
