Puolikiinteillä

Puolikiinteillä is a Finnish term that translates to "semi-solid" and refers to a category of waste materials. This classification is particularly relevant in the context of waste management and environmental regulations in Finland. Puolikiinteillä waste typically falls between liquid and solid states, possessing characteristics of both. Examples include sludges from wastewater treatment plants, certain industrial byproducts, and food waste that has been dewatered to a certain extent.

The classification of waste as puolikiinteillä is important for determining appropriate handling, storage, treatment, and disposal methods. These materials often require specialized equipment for transport and processing due to their viscosity and potential for leaching. Environmental permits and regulations often specify how puolikiinteillä waste must be managed to prevent contamination of soil and water. The aim is to ensure that these materials are treated in a way that minimizes environmental impact and, where possible, allows for resource recovery. The precise definition and criteria for puolikiinteillä waste can be found in Finnish environmental legislation and official guidelines.
