Een chemiebedrijf uit het Groningse Farmsum heeft de afgelopen drie jaar zo'n 5 miljoen kilo afvalzout illegaal laten dumpen nabij de Belgisch-Nederlandse grens, blijkt uit onderzoek van Follow The Money (FTM) en BN De Stem .

A chemical company based in Farmsum, Groningen, is under criminal investigation for allegedly illegally dumping approximately 5 million kilograms of salt waste near the Dutch-Belgian border over the past three years. The company, Dutch Glycerin Refinery (DGR), produces glycerin, a process that generates significant salt waste. Investigations suggest the waste was disguised as a soil improver for agriculture and distributed by intermediaries in Belgium, leading to severe soil contamination in some areas, with groundwater reportedly becoming as saline as seawater.
This incident highlights a significant environmental crime with potentially long-lasting damage to agricultural land and ecosystems, prompting a criminal investigation and raising concerns about corporate responsibility and regulatory oversight.
