What factors contributed to the rejection of the ILT's recommendation to classify steel slag as waste?

The ILT's recommendation stemmed from concerns over the environmental impact of steel slag, particularly after incidents like the one in Eerbeek where a solar park built on steel slag led to health problems and water contamination. The ILT cited "advancing insight into the negative environmental and hygiene aspects" of steel slag as a primary reason for their recommendation, suggesting its environmental impact is greater than previously understood.

What are the primary factors contributing to the projected increase in poverty intensity despite a decline in the overall poverty rate in the Netherlands?

The increase in poverty intensity is primarily due to a growing number of individuals experiencing a more significant income shortfall relative to the poverty line, particularly those with employment income or self-employment income. This group often forgoes claiming available benefits, exacerbating their financial hardship. The Central Planning Bureau (CPB) uses a new measure of 'poverty intensity' to gauge the depth of poverty, which considers the gap between household income and the poverty threshold.
