| Abstract: | To define which factors make contaminated land management (CLM) eco-efficient and to study whether eco-efficiency has been considered in CLM decisions they carried out a literature survey, two stakeholder seminars, thematic interviews and a questionnaire study on economic instruments. In the study, they arrived at a list of several qualifications for eco-efficiency. It was shown that eco-efficiency has hardly been a real issue in the selection of remediation techniques or generally, in the decision-making concerning contaminated sites. It is argues that there is a need to promote the use of more eco-efficient remediation techniques and to develop CLM policy instruments, guidelines, and participatory processes and methods to assess the eco-efficiency of CLM options. |
