In parallel the public awareness for environmentally sound solutions in the field of waste management is raising. This context imposes challenging conditions for political leaders. Often politicians are confronted to take decisions about concepts or investments in waste management without independent expertise. They are approached by vendors of waste treatment technologies or concepts, claiming high environmental and energetic performance, combined with profitable cost - benefit rates.
Project risks can be caused by external events, or any other circumstances, which hamper the project’s overall success.

In the field of waste management, the project owner is typically a city or a larger group of municipalities.
