Suggestion about a system to collect data on waste management in Montenegro

1. The evaluation of waste
streams

2. The knowledge
 Waste management plans start from the
knowledge of the local situation
 For waste management knowledge means:
 Production
 Management
 Production:
 Kind of producer:
 Household
 Industrial waste
 Quantity of waste
 Composition of waste
 Collection system

3. An example: the waste management
plant in Veneto
 The plan is divided in two main
chapters:
 Urban waste
 State of the art
 Evaluation of needs
 Proposal
 Industrial waste
 State of the art
 Evaluation of needs
 Proposals

4. The urban waste: which data?
 Total urban waste production
 District/Provinces Production
 Geographical effects (tourism and
economy)
 Level of separate collection
 Production of separated waste
(paper, plastic, metals…)
 Composition of residual waste

5. Who collect these data?
 Urban waste production data are
collected by waste management
company
 ARPAV is the webmaster of the
collection system and use these data
to draft the regional plan and check
its enforcement
 ARPAV calculate also the official
level of separate collection for each
municipality. The landfill tax is
based on the achievement of SC
targets

6. Right knowledge = right planning
 Based on waste production trends it possible to
foresee the lifetime of disposal plant as landfills
 Based on waste composition it is possible to
foresee the production of secondary raw
material from separate collection and the
installation required to the treat these streams.
 Geographical knowledge of production site allow
to reduce the distance between production and
treatment
 Some kinds of plants (composting, Anaerobic
Digestion, WtE plants) have minimum sizes
below which the maintenance costs are
unbalanced

7. The role of national law
 In Italy data collection on waste production and waste management is
mandatory since 1997
 The national law on waste in Montenegro it was adopted in 2011
 The national law define only the main target
 The specific systems are defined in some administrative acts
