Disaster Waste
• Massive problem in many disaster-related situations, post cyclone, earthquake, tsunami…
• No acceptance of recycled materials in reconstruction process
• Options for re-use linked to standards and market value
• Low awareness of value of waste materials and how value can be added
• Positive environmental aspects, e.g. avoid sand/ gravel mining

ASBESTOS
• Post-disaster response accelerates demand on asbestos
• Hazardous asbestos waste generated in post-tsunami response
• Little or no asbestos waste clean up initiated
• Sri Lanka’s tsunami reconstruction agency (RADA) endorsed the use of Chrysotile sheeting
• Indonesia: >20,000 tonnes of Chrysotile imported in 2004 -- price dumping
• General lack of awareness of asbestos – management, alternatives, disposal…
