FRANCE-AUSTRALIA-CHEMICALS-WASTE-ENVIRONMENT

This picture taken on June 5, 2014 shows containers on Tredi SA's incineration plant in Salaise-sur-Sanne. Australian chemicals firm Orica said on May 27, 2014 it has applied to ship a vast stockpile of toxic waste to France in a bid to end a long-running saga over how to dispose of it. Orica said it had lodged an initial application with the government to export 132 tonnes of HCB to a facility in France operated by Tredi SA. The company has 15,000 tonnes of hexachlorobenzene (HCB) -- a solvent manufacturing by-product and suspected human carcinogen -- stored at Botany in Sydney's south and has been trying to get rid of it for years.
