This session aims at discussing the leachate management of today. It is intended to focus on the sustainability of the leachate management. In connection to this the leachate quality will be discussed and will be linked to the treatment requirements. Also different alternatives for  treatment will be discussed. In the following some questions that the session is intendended to discuss is given:
Is the leachate management of today sustainable?
What tools can we use to decide the sustainability?
Do we need leachate treatment?
What components of the leachates do we need to treat?
What kinds of leachate do we need to treat?
For how long time will treatment be required?
What kinds of treatment are the best?
Will there be a need for different treatments at different times?
