Walloon SME develops asbestos valorization process, King Philippe visits

Belgian SME SBMI has developed a process to valorize asbestos waste, potentially transforming a hazardous disposal problem into a circular economy resource. The company was showcased to King Philippe during a visit focused on economic redeployment in La Louvière. The technology's commercial viability and regulatory acceptance remain unproven, but it could shift asbestos management from burial to recycling.
