Review of the Landfill Disposal Risks
Abstract
As part of future strategy, the South Australian Environment Protection Agency (SA EPA) determined that it was appropriate to consider the potential risks which may arise from the disposal of preservative treated timber.
Sinclair Knight Merz together with Flinders University, were selected to undertake a study to examine these risks.
The scope of the study was to investigate the possible environmental impacts from treated timber disposal by examining the current utilisation and disposal, recovery, reuse and recycling of treated timber, with the aim to reduce any environmental impacts that were identified.
