Hi Helen
~
My sense is that the
EU Directive was promulgated before the concept of bioreactors was fully
developed.
It seems to me not a
rejection, per se, but selection of a different path, when fewer pathes
were available.
And, the EU still
allows organics in landfills, thus those landfills still have the long term
issues related to organics to deal with.

Interesting question raised here: since the EU
Directive set limits on the % of organics in landfills doesn't this amount to
a de-facto rejection of bioreactor landfills?

Hi Eric
~ Could you provide an official
EU or other European agency document that shows that they have examined and
rejected bioreactors "in any and all forms and as unsafe and unable to keep
pollution from the environment"? I served on a committee that looked at accelerating the time frame at
which waste disposal sites would degrade material in them and looked at what
was going on in the EU, but was not fortunate enough to come up with
any references that included that conclusion. Thanks much, John

Europe looked at bioreactors long ago and rejected them in any and
all forms as unsafe and unable to keep pollution from the
environment.
