Demilitarisation (demil) of excess and obsolete ammunition and explosives products is not a priority subject in most countries or among most of the potential buyers of these services. Demil is also an area where the normal environmental concerns are not given priority and accordingly low price is the dominating development driver. This has in turn led to disposal and demilitarisation methods/processes that are targeting the present minimum environmental requirements and regulations; while the future society will be very dependent on high sustainable environmental standards where recycling and reuse of all type of available resources is very important. The speech will present a number of areas and subjects that are important to address to change the present development; as well as some possible solutions to reach desirable future results.”
