Vacant land in Ghent, where household waste was buried in the past, with a slightly contaminated subsoil.

Playground in Leuven, household waste dumping leads to light soil contamination.

In the Port of Antwerp (Beveren), dredged sludge is removed to preserve the depth and flow of canals and harbors, ensuring the continued movement of shipping traffic. In the past, this sludge was frequently dumped along the riverbanks, potentially leading to soil contamination.

Private property in Harelbeke, dredged waste was dumped, causing the soil to become lightly contaminated.

Private land in Harelbeke, construction waste was dumped; details about the soil condition are available exclusively to the owners.

The soil plays an invaluable role in food production, water management, resource extraction, and biodiversity. Unfortunately, the soil is contaminated in many places in Flanders. Various factors, including land use, industrial activities, agricultural practices, and urbanization, influence soil quality. Significant efforts have been made in recent years to address pollution and ensure soil quality for the future. According to government agencies, Flanders is a global example of efficient soil management, with less than 2% of our waste being landfilled in 2022. Nevertheless, we are faced with numerous former landfill sites from the past. This raises questions about the future possibilities of these risk areas left to us by history. I like to narrate a visual story with images that highlight the resilience of the soil, as well as the commitment to maintaining sustainable soil practices, with specific attention to the revised land use of old landfill sites.
