UTILISING WASTE TO CREATE NEW PORT LAND (PROJECT TERMINATED)
Type of the Circular Economy Activity implemented:
RECYCLING OF WASTE STREAMS
Brief Description of the Activity:
Gavle conducted a big expansion project in 2006. The case study written about this project highlights the material used to build new land. Contaminated sediments were used. . This project allowed the construction of a 390 000-square-foot expansion. By using dredged sediments and through stabilization and solidification process, the Port of Gävle has reduced its requirements for new materials and therefore its requirement for metarials transportation.
