Le compactage est la méthode la plus simple [de réduction de volume]. On utilise des presses classiques d'une force de 3 000 à 4 000 kN, installées et ventilées dans une enceinte étanche pour permettre de confiner toute contamination éventuelle; les déchets compactables sont les gants, plastiques, blouses, papiers, etc. Le compactage peut s'effectuer soit sur les fûts contenant ces déchets [...], soit sur les déchets mis en sacs de plastique. 3, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9chet%20compactable

Le compactage à haute pression [...] est utilisé pour porter les déchets compressibles à leur densité maximale.
