Overview of CP 3 report

• 1. Input from the partners
• Bologna, Portugal, Krakow, Norfolk, Portugal,
  Talinn, Thessaloniki, Yamboll
• Lahti and West Saxony not totally ready yet
• 2. Rationale
• Comparative approach
• Conclusions in relation to
• CP2 model
• EU policies
• 3. Objectives
• Interregional comparison, with the purpose to
  link regional contexts with state of the art
  solutions in the context of EU policies and
  eventually reqiest fundign for the implementation
  of these solutions.?
• MoU
• Regional action plans

7
Interregional comparison

• Harmonisation
• Amount
• Streams
• Integrated waste life cycle
• Product and process design
• End of life measures
• Active prevention measures
• Organisation of the collection and routing
• Critical mass of waste? collectivity
• ? recycling targets?
• ? environmental targets?
• ? ?

8
Discussion on the criteria of comparison

• Harmonisation
• National legislation
• Does national legislation create solutions?
• Regional basic figures area, population, density
• To what extent urban waste is a real issue
• Per capita urban waste
• How and how much people consume
• Urban waste composition and quantity
• Composting? Energy recovety? Re-use? Recycling?
• Urban waste management practices, and good
  practices
• Stakeholders
• Performance measurements
• Per capita (GDP/waste)

9
Typology of criteria of comparison
Stakeholders
Optimal
Scenery

• Performance measures
• Policy (EU)
• Implementation (local, i.e. not horizontal)

10
Performance measures

• Old and new waste management hierarchy in the
  EU

11
Performance measures
Waste minimisation vs waste prevention
accoring to the OECD
12
Terminology clarification

• Strict avoidance Complete prevention of waste
  generation by virtual elimination of hazardous
  substances, or reduce material or energy
  intensity in production, consumption, and
  distribution ()
• Reduction at source Minimisation of toxic or
  harmful substances and / or minimisation of
  material () or energy consumption.
• Product re-use Mulitple use of a product in its
  original form, for its original purpose or for an
  alternative, with or without reconditioning
• Market necessary
• Definition necessary

EU policy aspects relevant to IUWMM

• Recycling mixed blessing
• EU policy
• Waste as life cycle vs waste to dispose of ()
• ENERGY
• End of life products ()
• Product and process design measures ()
• Two sides,
• Impact on the environment ()
• Profitability (energy recovery) ()?
  Measurement amount of (embedded energy /weight
  of waste)population
• Overall performance measurement the rate (per
  capita GDP / per capita waste) increasing over
  time (decoupling growth from environmental
  impact)
• Definition what is really waste (the use of by
  products characterised as waste is hindered by
  European environmental legislation)

15
Conclusions

• Stakeholders
• Attitude to waste life cycle, disposal
• Who is involved, how
• Legislation leading to solutions
• Who pays, when, and why

Optimal

• Scenery
• Amount
• Streams

• Performance measures
• Policy (EU)
• Implementation (local)
• Reduction at source separation, at least 3, bio,
  energy, hazardous
• Pre-treatement management (process)
• Treatement management (technology)

First conclusions for the action plans

• Habit enforcement (citizens participation)
• Spatial organisation of waste collection
• Documentation for decision making
• Financing organisation of waste management
