Abstract
Portugal received 330,915 tons of waste and out of which 57,740 tons of waste has already been exported according to the 2018 Transboundary Waste Movement Survey. Shortly, Portugal is preparing to reduce this import. Physical, chemical, high temperature, and biological approaches are utilized for the handling of hazardous waste. Hazardous waste which cannot be treated by incineration or other chemical methods is landfilled. Disposing radioactive wastes in lagoons is risky. It is advised to get a form of engineering studies before any remedial action. The current research has systematically examined the numerous kinds of hazardous waste produced in Portugal and its management.
