The debate on toxic waste, the expert: We do not have the capacity as a state to

The environmental expert, Lavdosh Feruni, spoke about the hazardous waste that is produced in the country, starting from the debates in today's interpellation between Prime Minister Edi Rama and DP deputy, Gazment Bardhi, which was requested by the democrat regarding the transportation of hazardous waste. toxic, started from the Port of Durrës, towards China and Thailand.

Feruni stated on Syri TV that we as a state do not have the capacity to eliminate these hazardous wastes, despite the fact that we have two points with very low, almost negligible capacities to treat the hazardous wastes of Kurumi. 

"It's clear now that we're dealing with waste that's from the Kururmi filters in this case for steelmaking and that's extremely dangerous. They're dust coming from the electric arc furnace and they're obviously dangerous.

Imagine a bunch of different metals being melted down to make steel and left in these filters. The news today was that there is no export of hazardous waste from Albania, it seems like good news but it seems very worrying, since we know that we produce hazardous waste and they are here, they have not left the country.

We as a state do not have the capacity to eliminate these hazardous wastes, despite having two points with very low, almost negligible capacities to treat the hazardous wastes of Kurumi.

Kurumi produces 700,000 tons of steel per year, with scientific studies about 2% of these wastes are hazardous wastes, which are dusts called EAFD and require very special treatment. All these wastes are not known where these hazardous wastes are being destroyed ," he said.
