Abstrakt: One of the major challenges to establishing more sustainable management strategies than landfill disposal of metals‐contaminated soils is the lack of End‐of‐Waste (EoW) criteria defined at the European and national levels. Another limitation stems from the scarcity of information on industrial‐scale applications of treatment technologies able to obtain safe and reusable materials from such contaminated waste. In this context, the High‐Performance Solidification/Stabilization process was applied for the full‐scale remediation of pyrite ash‐contaminated soil (ca. 24 000 m3), and a dedicated sampling and analytical protocol was developed and implemented to verify if the treated material obtained complied with the general EoW criteria established by article 6 of the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC. The results of the leaching, ecotoxicological, and mechanical tests carried out on representative samples of the treated soil showed that this material (ca. 19 000 m3) could be classified as EoW and thus was deemed reusable both in‐situ as filler for the excavation and ex‐situ as road construction material. These results improve the knowledge of the performance of a state‐of‐the‐art technique for the treatment of metals‐contaminated soil. Furthermore, the developed monitoring plan can support future assessments on the compliance of materials obtained from contaminated soil with the general EoW criteria.
