 The national program of waste management provides for the combination of various components for the management of Special Industrial Waste: Many sectors make producers directly responsible of the disposal and recycling of their damaged goods. A few special industrial wastes have been subjected to this form of management. For other special industrial wastes with large quantities and higher management risks, Tunisia is looking for specific and individual solutions, such as: |
 For the large quantities of phospho-gypsum from the production of phosphoric acid: mono-landfills run by the producing industry itself, are planned; For the large quantities of black liquor, a residual sludge waste from olive oil production : biological treatment is planned, followed by drying through open-air evaporation and finally disposal in landfills. Farm spreading of the sludge is also being considered. Large stocks of damaged pesticides and PCB from former transformers are to be disposed of with financial assistance programs of the World Bank. Wastes will be exported for high temperature incineration; a technology not available in Tunisia. Healthcare waste requires sterilization pre-treatment before disposal in landfills. |
