From gigantic industrial residual flows from the steel industry to discharges by large chemical groups. And why does fire break out so often at so many waste companies? Teun: 'Not even that long ago, waste was a problem that we as a society had to get rid of. Now it has become a multi-million dollar business. Nice talk plays a big role. In 'De Vuilnisman' I will investigate how much of that is really true. '
