During a period of two weeks the light fraction from car scrapping, amounting to 100 tonnes per day, has been co-incinerated on a test basis. Waste Centre Denmark reports that during the test, emissions of Hg, dioxins, PCB and benzo-pyrene were measured. Furthermore, every day a slag sample was taken and analysed for alkali and soil alkali metals as well as heavy metals.
Sub-samples of the daily slag samples were mixed into weekly samples and subjected to leaching tests. Even if the shredder waste contains far more Hg (6 mg/kg) and Cd (39 mg/kg) than household waste (0.5 and 5 mg/kg, respectively), the test did not lead to increased concentration of these two metals in the slag. So they must have been transported with the flue gas to flue gas cleaning. Other metals, by contrast, were found in higher concentrations in the slag, however without this having an impact on the leaching properties. Neither did the co-incineration lead to increased emissions with the cleaned flue gas

Egypt reviews Red Sea waste management system – Dailynewsegypt
Egypt’s Minister of Local Development and Environment, Manal Awad, and Red Sea Governor Walid El-Barqi held an extensive meeting to review the performance of the governorate’s waste management system and discuss measures to improve environmental services and operational efficiency. The meeting, held during Awad’s visit to the Red Sea Governorate to mark World Environment Day, focused on assessing current challenges facing waste collection, sorting, recycling and disposal operations, as well as identifying priority actions to strengthen the system’s performance. Awad stressed that the government places significant importance on developing an integrated waste management system in the Red Sea Governorate, given its strategic importance as one of Egypt’s leading tourism destinations. She emphasized the need to comply with environmental and technical standards governing sanitary landfills, waste treatment facilities and environmentally sound disposal practices. During the meeting, officials reviewed the current status of waste management operations in Hurghada, including collection, transportation, sorting, recycling and final disposal activities. Discussions also covered the infrastructure upgrades required to improve system efficiency and ensure the proper operation of sanitary landfill facilities. Yasser Abdullah, head of Egypt’s Waste Management Regulatory Authority, presented updates on temporary waste collection and sorting sites and outlined measures to strengthen operational management and oversight. He highlighted the importance of improving monitoring mechanisms for waste handling activities and maximizing the recovery of recyclable materials while reducing informal and unregulated practices.
