Thanks to years of qualitative landfill management, the De Blankaart landfill now contains a product valuable enough to mine and re-use the site afterwards.
The Flemish Department of Environment, Nature and Energy provided subsidies to municipalities for among others GPP within the cooperation agreement (2008-2013).
Landfill sites can be seen as a specific kind of brownfields, therefore those redevelopment processes and instruments were customized for landfills in Flanders.
