Environmentally sound disposal of POPs is costly and complicated, and export may not be affordable to many developing countries. In contrast to incinerators and other treatment techniques, cement kilns already exist in virtually every country and resorting to them may be feasible and cost-efficient for the treatment of POPs wastes and other types of wastes. For almost thirty years, the only treatment option in Norway for organic hazardous wastes and POPs has been high temperature cement kilns. The Foundation for Industrial and Scientific Research (SINTEF) has been instrumental in this development and the Norwegian Government wants to share and disseminate this knowledge within developing countries.
