“…Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy-saving have always been hot topics in various fields [46], but the degree of adoption for these factors was low and was not thought to be strengthened. This situation is similar to some previous studies, mainly focusing on the researchers [28][29][30]47]. O'Connor D. et al indicated that this may be caused by the limited experience and abilities regarding GHG in the remediation industry [30].…”

“…GSR evaluation and use is a multistakeholder activity including site managers, service providers, regulators planners among others [25][26][27]. Some researchers tried to investigate different stakeholders' perceptions of GSR [28][29][30], but their respondents were almost all researchers, and the sample size of the regulators was small. Where a regulator is also a policy-maker and possible implementer, they have the most far-reaching influence and can advocate for GSR [1,22].…”

Government contaminated site regulators, as policy executors and makers, have a profound impact on the development of green and sustainable remediation (GSR), but their cognitive level of GSR has not been well-studied. China has some experience in the management of contaminated sites and has the foundation to promote GSR. This study was conducted in the form of a questionnaire to investigate the understanding of GSR among Chinese site regulators at different levels. The study found that there was still a lot of resistance to promoting GSR in China. Firstly, even though the regulators thought GSR was necessary in China, most of them did not know GSR very well or lacked practical experience. Secondly, existing national and provincial policy standards did not have a good balance between the environmental, social and economic aspects, but gave priority to the environmental factors. Thirdly, the lack of standard and regulatory requirements was the most significant barrier to the implementation of GSR. The results of the survey can provide a reference for China or other developing countries to implement GSR. Practitioners should provide more knowledge and cases for regulators, supplement national policies or improve the provincial and municipal policy system.

“…However, since SR is still an emerging concept, stakeholders may not have enough knowledge to proactively stimulate and encourage sustainable practices, leading to divergent views and perceptions (Hou et al, 2014a;Hou, 2016). In addition, dissemination and public engagement in remediation projects are still very limited, especially in developing countries, and greater incentives and improvements are needed to overcome these obstacles (O'Connor et al, 2019). In this way, Hou et al (2014a) have observed that although the involvement of different stakeholders affects behavior towards sustainability, their greatest influ-Sustainable Remediation: A New Way of Thinking the Contaminated Sites Management ence is exerted through institutional forces, that is, in most cases, the institutionalization of specific environmental practices still precedes the influence stakeholders.…”

Within the evolution in the remediation field, the traditional approach to contaminated sites management, based almost exclusively on the risk, time, cost, and decontamination efficiency, is gradually being replaced by the concepts of sustainability. The most recent focus is the incorporation of the term "sustainable remediation (SR)", taking into account that application of a remediation technique can have its own impacts. Thus, this paper aims to present and analyze the characteristics and trends on the knowledge developed in the field of SR and its incorporation in the contaminated sites management context. Firstly, the background to the SR approach is presented. This discussion was carried out through a contextualization of the main changes that occurred in the contaminated sites management with insertion of SR. After that, the main characteristics and concepts of SR are presented and analyzed, and the different stakeholders involvement in this process is discussed. Finally, the main elements present in sustainability evaluation of remediation processes are discussed. It can be concluded that a consensus on the increasingly solid incorporation of a sustainable approach in remediation projects is emerging on the global scene with a view to reducing the process impacts and maximizing the long-term benefits of the contaminated site.
