EXPLORING THE ANTHROPOCENE: MAPPING AND SURVEYING OF LANDFILLS IN FLANDERS (BELGIUM)

摘要

OVAM is the environmental agency in Flanders (Belgium) which is dealing with the issues of Soil Remediation and Waste and Material Management. In 2011, a vision on Enhanced Landfill Mining (ELFM) was approved by the board of directors and resulted in an operational program over the period 2011-2015. Since 1981, OVAM set up several databases containing information on (former) landfill sites. These inventories reveal the existence of more then 2.000 landfills and dump sites.
