Who's already restoring (Europe)
Veolia · Suez · Arcadis · Antea Group · Golder · DEME Environmental · Eni Rewind
Private contractors operating at scale. Eni Rewind is the rare case actually self-funding its own cleanup (Porto Marghera, €527M) — most others work for whoever's paying, govt or company.
National agencies: TRAGSA (Spain) · ADEME (France) · OVAM (Flanders) · Invitalia (Italy) · Naturvårdsverket (Sweden) · Mining Remediation Authority (UK)
Each country's default executor when there's no solvent polluter left to bill — which, across the 21 cases mapped here, is most of the time.
EU LIFE Programme · Horizon Europe · NextGenerationEU / national recovery plans · university partners (INRAE, Hasselt, GISFI, IRNAS-CSIC)
Projects with an academic partner attached publish real, detailed, sometimes self-critical technical reports. Pure agency/NGO execution usually doesn't publish past budget level — a documentation pattern, not evidence of concealment.
Reality check, now backed by 21 real cases across 8 countries: in Spain's and Italy's largest contamination cases (Aznalcóllar/Boliden, ILVA/Taranto, Lavrion), the responsible company paid little or nothing — public/EU/bankruptcy-estate funds covered the real cost.
