ABSTRACT
Once treated by processes reducing their volume and nuisance potential, the sludges issued from urban and industrial water treatments shall, as waste, to be disposed of in a logical recycling of matter and energy. Therefore different disposal routes are considered, such as land application, recycling in an industrial process, thermal treatments and landfilling.

INTRODUCTION
The
It is now time to examine the ways in which the industrial company or its delegated service provider can dispose of, or preferably recycle, the sludge or other waste produced in the course of its activities, and thus find the best match between the type of sludge and the possible outlets, of which there are four:
recycling in agriculture ;
recycling in another industry;
thermal elimination ;
technical landfills for household waste, or ordinary industrial waste, and special industrial waste.
This research will take into account all technical, economic, regulatory and environmental constraints. The latter term, to be considered in its broadest sense, includes the human environment, which can in some cases call into question choices that are nevertheless optimal in technical, economic and ecological terms.
