The purpose of remediation is\u00a0to safeguard the environment and health<\/strong>\u00a0and to return the areas to use (whether to their prior use or a new purpose), potentially introducing usage constraints or limitations. As defined by Italian regulations, remediation is \u2018the series of interventions aimed at eliminating the sources of pollution\/polluting substances or reducing the concentration of these substances in the soil, subsoil and groundwater to a level below the Risk Threshold Concentration (RTC)\/Contamination Threshold Concentration (CTC)\u2019 (Art. 240 of Legislative Decree 152\/2006). This entails close interplay between environmental, economic and regulatory factors, which have a significant impact on the sustainability of the interventions and consequently on their implementation. The economic feasibility of the redevelopment is directly linked to the possibility of reusing these areas and thus making the most of their value.<\/p>\n Public bodies (Ministries, Regions, Metropolitan Cities\/Greater Metropolitan Areas, Municipalities, Regional Environmental Protection Agencies, Health Protection Agencies) and private companies (involved in various capacities) take part in the process of remediating a site in order to optimise and balance out the relationship between social, environmental and economic interests.<\/p>\n Rariplast\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0contribution to these projects<\/strong> comes in the form of the HDPE and LDPE geomembranes for decontamination and contaminated places used to cover these areas and sites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Remediation of contaminated sites The purpose of remediation is\u00a0to safeguard the environment […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1203,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-environmental-works"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nHDPE and LDPE geomembranes<\/h2>\n
