Norwegian company safely disposes over 10,000 tonnes of munitions annually by underground detonation.

After World War II, countries like Norway disposed of surplus weapons by dumping them into the sea, creating artificial reefs but also leaving unexploded ordnance that can pose risks to marine life and humans. The 1972 international convention banned chemical weapons dumping, but the challenge of disposing of weapons remains. Today, a Norwegian company processes over 10,000 tonnes of munitions safely by detonating them underground since 1999.
