peer agreement (net): +1disposers Explanation: Well, of course also in Dutch it's an unbelievably ugly word (neologism). But as the definition clearly shows, these are "people disposing of" waste.

peer agreement (net): +1disposers of waste Explanation: I think it's more the disposer of waste than the provider of waste disposal services. I suspect the term comes from the legislation on the subject. -> "Doelgroepen: De PMV [= provinciale integrale milieuverordening], onderdelen bedrijfsafvalstoffen en gevaarlijke afvalstoffen, richten zich op de volgende doelgroepen: - ontdoeners; - inzamelaars; - transporteurs, en; - be- en verwerkers van bedrijfsafvalstoffen en ingezamelde of afgegeven huishoudelijke afvalstoffen alsmede gevaarlijke afvalstoffen." http://www.minvenw.nl/rws/dww/home/richtlijnen/afval/andere.... -> "This project is specifically aimed at using an innovative design of rotary kiln to provide a solution to two modem day dilemmas which confront both disposers of waste & users of natural aggregate for the production of concrete" [ the text continues about the processing of domestic & industrial wastes ] http://www.dit.ie/eng/csee/research/rotary.html I hope this helps somewhat Jarry. I have to admit, though, that it's not really my field... Reference: http://www.minvenw.nl/rws/dww/home/richtlijnen/afval/andere.... Reference: http://www.dit.ie/eng/csee/research/rotary.html |
