The collection and processing of animal waste is governed by the order of the Flemish government of 24 May 1995. The carcasses of the sperm whales, stranded on the coast of Belgium in 1994, were processed into animal feed in a processing facility, approved for animal waste. They were initially regarded as low-risk material. However, it was subsequently found that hazardous material were present in the tissues of the sperm whales, so that high-risk material was involved. Processing the sperm whale into animal feed was viewed afterwards, owing to the presence of residues and because of the problems that arose at the knacker's yard, as not being the appropriate method of disposal. Alternative options for disposal were incineration or burial. Incineration was not possible in the Flemish region because there was no incinerator capable for incinerating such amount of animal waste. Burial is the best alternative and disposal in a class II landfill is another option; landfilling can be viewed as a controlled form of burial. Difficulties always arise with class II landfills (for household waste), however, because their license does not provide for animal waste. Co-ordination between the various official organisations is necessary in an urgent situation such as arose in the stranding of the sperm whales in 1994, so that a good solution can be found as quickly as possible for the disposal of the animal waste.","AbstractOtherLang":"De bevoegdheid betreffende afvalstoffen is sinds de staatshervonning van 1980 een regionale aangelegenheid, en is voor het Vlaamse Gewest in handen van de OVAM (Openbare Afvalstoffenmaatschappij voor het Vlaamse Gewest). De ophaling en verwerking van dierlijk afval wordt geregeld door het besluit van de Vlaamse regering van 24 mei 1995. De kadavers van de potvissen die in 1994 aan de Belgische kust strandden, werden verwerkt tot diervoeder in een erkende verwerkingsinrichting voor dierlijk afval. Oorspronkelijk werden de kadavers aanzien als laag-risicomateriaal. Achteraf is echter gebleken dat er gevaarlijke afvalstoffen voorkwamen in de weefsels van de potvissen, zodat men te maken had met hoog-risicomateriaal. De verwerking van de potvissen tot diervoeder was achteraf gezien, wegens de aanwezigheid van reststoffen en wegens de problemen die zich voordeden in het vilbeluik, niet de aangewezen manier van verwijdering. Alternatieven voor de verwijdering waren verbranding of begraving. Verbranding in een verbrandingsoven was niet mogelijk in het Vlaamse Gewest omdat geen verbrandingsoven geschikt was voor het verbranden van zo'n hoeveelheid dierlijk afval. Begraving is het beste alternatief. Storten op een klasse lI-stortplaats behoort eveneens tot de mogelijkheden: storten kan namelijk aanzien worden als een gecontroleerde vorm van begraven. Bij Klasse II-stortplaatsen voor huishoudelijke afvalstoffen doen zich echter steeds moeilijkheden voor, omdat hun vergunning niet voorziet in dierlijk afval.","BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"The collection and processing of animal waste in the Flemish Region","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:33:14.980000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":"sperm whale, stranding, waste, landfill, incineration, hazardous substances, knacker's yard, animal feed","Notes":null,"AnaPub":1997,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-02-23","DateCreate":"2000-08-24","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":858,"PubliDate":1997,"Pagination":"119-121","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"67","Issue":"suppl.","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":44202,"SerRR":"Bulletin van het Koninklijk Belgisch Instituut voor Natuurwetenschappen.
