On Monday 2nd March the Circular Economy Task Force co-hosted a conference with the Dutch Embassy in London on how to promote the trade in circular economy goods and services between the UK and the Netherlands. The Dutch ambassador Laetitia van den Assum welcomed an expert group of business, policy and academia representatives to a discussion organised around three issues: how policy can support a circular economy, how to deliver a ‘North Sea Resource Roundabout’, and what are the circular economy opportunities for plastics?
This document summarizes organic municipal waste management in Catalonia. It discusses that Catalonia implements separate collection of organic waste fractions like food scraps and yard waste. This organic material is then processed through composting or anaerobic digestion. The region has implemented various policies like legislation, collection targets, and financial incentives to encourage municipalities to set up separate collection of organic waste and send it to composting rather than landfilling. These policies have been successful, with over 700 municipalities now offering separate collection of organic materials from homes and businesses.

The document discusses the origins and evolution of extended producer responsibility (EPR). It traces the development of EPR from the 1980s when waste problems increased and interest in waste prevention grew. EPR was first proposed in 1990 to shift responsibility for waste management from municipalities to businesses. EPR aims to incentivize producers to facilitate recycling through design and make reuse and recycling the main option. While EPR was initially applied to packaging, it has since expanded to other product categories like electronics and batteries. The implementation of EPR led to increased collection and recycling rates for materials like glass and paper but faced challenges for complex products and ensuring design changes.

The document discusses extended producer responsibility (EPR) for e-waste management in Argentina, drawing lessons from the Belgian case. It provides an overview of Belgium's EPR system operated by Recupel, which designates roles for producers, authorities, retailers and citizens. Recupel finances e-waste collection and treatment through fees. The document also identifies challenges for Argentina, such as a lack of e-waste data and ensuring waste pickers are protected. It argues that any EPR system in Argentina must consider existing circumstances and stakeholders to be successful.
This document discusses waste recycling issues and opportunities in India. It provides an overview of the current status of waste management in India, including the large quantities of municipal solid waste, construction and demolition waste, and industrial hazardous and non-hazardous waste generated annually. It outlines key issues with waste management such as lack of segregation, inefficient collection and transportation, and inadequate disposal facilities. The document also discusses the evolution of waste management practices and the need for regulatory convergence to better address waste as an interrelated, multi-media issue.
Economic instruments and management of generated revenue light eprfrancesco loro
This document discusses economic instruments and revenue management related to waste management and pollution in Italy. It describes two main types of revenue - ecological taxes and bank guarantees. It also outlines policies at the European, national, and local levels to enforce the polluter pays principle. Revenue from ecological taxes is used to fund waste treatment plants, remediation projects, and separate collection programs. The management of these funds is announced annually and granted to public bodies to support waste management projects. While the current system incentivizes recycling and pollution reduction, the taxation levels may be too low to fully cover costs and drive ecodesign.

1. The document discusses the EPR system for e-waste (WEEE) in France, which is managed by Eco-systèmes. Key results include a 49.3% collection rate and 81% average recycling rate.
2. It outlines specifics of the French system including a visible fee paid by consumers, cooperation with social enterprises, and mandatory standards for WEEE treatment.
3. Challenges mentioned are meeting higher collection targets, innovation for new materials, and preventing illegal exports of e-waste to developing countries with lower standards. Harmonizing rules across Europe is seen as important.
Informal sector role in the recyclable waste collection in bulgariaDr Lendy Spires
This document discusses Bulgaria's efforts to increase recycling and recovery of waste. It notes that Bulgaria has recycling and recovery targets set by the EU, but is challenged by a lack of waste management infrastructure and low rates of separate waste collection. Currently, informal waste pickers ("scavengers") collect a significant portion of recyclables from landfills and contribute over 60% of recycled paper and plastics, helping Bulgaria meet its targets. However, scavengers are controversial as they are sometimes accused of theft and unsanitary practices. The document concludes that Bulgaria needs a sustainable approach that engages all stakeholders, including scavengers.
Jornada Técnica sobre Responsabilidad Extendida del Productor - steve claus -...ConexiónReciclado
The document provides guidance on establishing an effective extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme. It discusses defining stakeholders and their roles, including legislators, industry, municipalities, operators, and citizens. Key success factors include designating clear roles and responsibilities through public-private partnerships. When setting up a product responsibility organization, the document advises considering legislation, objectives, operations, marketing, data management, financing, and management structure. Overall stakeholders must work together effectively and flexibly for EPR to promote sustainable waste management and recycling goals.
The document summarizes the progress of WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment) collection and recycling over the past 15 years. It notes that initially there were only a few PROs (producer responsibility organizations) in a handful of countries, with little regulation or data. Now there are 31 PROs across 22 countries in Europe and Australasia, with comprehensive WEEE legislation and established systems for tracking flows and statistics. The WEEE Forum aims to support PROs in improving operations, influencing policy, and promoting a circular economy approach through benchmarking, standards development, projects countering illegal practices, and knowledge sharing.
This document discusses wastewater management in the Italian leather industry. It provides background on the leather sector and Arzignano tanning district. Wastewater from tanneries is treated collectively at a centralized plant. The GreenLIFE EU project aimed to reduce water usage and chemicals in tanning processes, recover byproducts, and assess new treatment technologies. Key results included decreasing water use in liming by 16-20% and producing fertilizers from process byproducts. Future challenges discussed include further improving efficiency, replacing water in some stages, expanding recovery/reuse, and taking a circular economy approach.
This document provides an overview of waste management systems and practices in different countries presented by Rachel, Phil, Gautam and Adrian. It discusses waste management in Canada where responsibilities are divided between municipal, provincial and federal governments. Waste management in London, England is outlined, including key acts and policies as well as statistics on waste streams. The challenges of waste management in Metro Manila, Philippines are also presented, where unregulated dumping and lack of infrastructure lead to health and environmental issues.
The document summarizes a presentation about waste management in rural areas. It discusses how perceptions of waste are changing due to increased costs and legislation. The EU Landfill Directive and UK Landfill Tax have increased disposal fees to encourage recycling. Recycling can save businesses money by removing materials from landfills that are taxed. The presentation uses a case study of a care home to show how a recycling program from Mil-tek could significantly reduce waste costs and bins while meeting customer and regulatory expectations.
The document discusses solid waste management challenges in developing countries like Bolivia and Ecuador. It notes that most solid waste ends up in insufficient landfills, collection services are inefficient and expensive, and the informal recycling sector employs many poor people. A Swisscontact project in Bolivia established eco-communities to improve waste collection, treatment, recycling and create green jobs. The project achieved positive results like reducing waste and creating new jobs.
This document discusses global waste management strategies and trends. It provides the following key points:
- 4 billion tonnes of total waste is produced globally each year, with 70% landfilled or dumped openly. Only 20% is recycled or composted.
- Organic waste makes up a large portion of municipal solid waste, especially in developing countries. Proper management through composting has benefits but is not widely practiced.
- Advanced economies like Scandinavia and Japan have more mature waste management systems with near 100% collection, over 50% recycling/composting, and taxes/incentives to support renewable energy from waste.
- Strategies to improve management of organic waste include separate collection
1) The document discusses challenges around e-waste recycling in Europe, including increasing recycling rates but pressures, ambitious future targets, and unreported waste.
2) Key recommendations are to encourage cooperation among stakeholders, count all e-waste, improve law enforcement, and ensure responsibility is accompanied by authority.
3) Other suggestions include enforcing uniform calculation methods, securing robust financing, anticipating free-riding internet sellers, and making EN 50625 standards legally binding.
Our idea is to involve private entity in solid waste management & make waste sector as formal

Unit 210 Reasons and Targets in the Recycling Industryrfelters
This document discusses the reasons for and targets of recycling in the UK. It explains that recycling aims to reduce environmental impacts from landfill waste, protect the environment per EU directives, and avoid landfill taxes. The Waste Strategy 2007 set targets to increase household recycling and reduce household waste sent to landfill. It aimed to recycle/compost 40% of household waste by 2010, 45% by 2015, and 50% by 2020. The Landfill Allowance Trading Scheme set limits on biodegradable waste sent to landfill by local authorities to reduce landfill amounts.
The document discusses the reasons for and targets of recycling in the UK. It aims to reduce waste sent to landfill by improving collection and processing efficiency. The Waste Strategy 2007 set targets to reduce household waste and increase recycling and composting rates to 40% by 2010, 45% by 2015, and 50% by 2020. It also established the Landfill Allowance Trading Scheme (LATS) and landfill tax to discourage waste disposal and encourage alternatives like recycling.
The document summarizes Flanders' approach to household waste management, which follows the waste hierarchy of prevention, reuse, recycling, and lastly incineration and landfilling. It outlines initiatives for waste prevention, selective collection programs that use incentives and fees, and policies to limit residual waste treatment. The key lessons are working on all levels of the hierarchy, source separation through education and collection, applying a polluter pays principle, and making landfilling expensive to divert waste to higher uses.

The document summarizes the key points of the European Commission's Circular Economy Package adopted in December 2015. The package includes an action plan with objectives and actions in areas like production, consumption, waste management, and priority sectors. It also includes a legislative proposal on waste that sets new, more ambitious recycling and landfilling targets for municipal waste and packaging waste for 2025 and 2030. The proposal introduces rules for calculating recycling rates and prevention measures.
France has implemented 14 extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes since 1992 to promote sustainable materials management. Producers fulfill their obligations by setting up collective producer responsibility organizations (PROs), which are non-profit companies governed by producers. There are two models of EPR scheme operation: "financial" schemes where municipalities remain in charge of waste management and "organizational" schemes where PROs are directly in charge. Governance of the PROs focuses on participative dialogue and negotiation of detailed terms of reference between stakeholders every six years. EPR schemes in France now collect over 1.4 billion euros annually and redistribute about 700 million euros to municipalities. Key ongoing questions center around the appropriate balance of responsibilities between PROs and municipalities

The document discusses the implementation of EU directives based on extended producer responsibility (EPR) principles. It provides an overview of EU waste legislation and targets for various waste streams. It also describes a study on EPR systems in Europe that analyzed different EPR models, identified best practices, and proposed options to promote optimal use of EPR. The study examined EPR systems for various waste streams in multiple EU countries through in-depth case studies.
The Swedish waste management system is organized through Avfall Sverige, an association of 400 primarily public sector waste management members. Sweden has made significant progress in diverting waste from landfills, with only 1% of household waste sent to landfills in 2020 through a policy framework emphasizing waste prevention, producer responsibility, and economic instruments. The system is based on efficient collection, sorting, and treatment of waste through municipal waste companies and facilities, with generated waste used as a resource for materials recycling, energy recovery, and biogas production.

- EXPRA is an alliance of non-profit packaging waste recovery and recycling systems owned by obliged industry across Europe and Israel. It aims to improve services and promote sustainable EPR schemes.
- EPR implementation varies across countries, from dual models with industry responsibility to shared responsibility between industry and municipalities. Data quality on recycling rates also varies between countries.
- New EU proposals include more ambitious recycling targets, changing the measurement point to post-recycling, and vague EPR criteria that don't address key issues. EXPR
This document discusses the need for consistent EU legislation on biowaste management based on the experience in the Czech Republic. It notes that while the Czech Republic has some national laws around biowaste, a comprehensive EU-wide framework is still lacking. Specifically, there is no obligation for separate biowaste collection across EU member states. The document argues that a standalone EU biowaste law is now overdue to address this cross-cutting environmental issue and should include elements like separate collection requirements, standards for biowaste treatment facilities and outputs, and a quality assurance system.
The document provides an update on waste management in the Vale of Glamorgan. It discusses how recycling and waste are currently treated and disposed of. It notes that recycling rates are around 64% but need to increase to meet future targets of 70%. Future service changes are planned, including implementing separated recycling collections in 2019/20. Organic waste is processed through new anaerobic digestion and composting facilities. The performance of recent service changes, such as reduced residual waste, is also summarized. Long term aims include reducing waste and achieving near 100% recycling by 2050.

The document discusses the need for flexibility in the UK electricity market to accommodate increasing amounts of variable renewable energy sources like wind power. It notes that demand response capacity and battery storage can provide flexibility but that markets need to be established. Charts are presented comparing demand response markets in different countries as well as falling lithium-ion battery prices. The document proposes a stratified market approach with multiple auction pots and outlines a process for building a flexibility market in the UK.
The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy in 2020. It found that most countries experienced a sharp economic contraction due to lockdowns and reduced consumption and investment. However, some nations that were able to effectively control the virus saw their economies return to growth in the latter half of the year. The overall impact was estimated to be a 3.5% decline in global GDP for 2020, the deepest recession since World War II.

On 20 November 2014 we celebrated our 35th anniversary with over 400 senior figures from politics, civil society and business, with special guests Ed Miliband MP and Oliver Letwin MP. We also launched Green Alliance's new 2015-18 strategy and announced our new chair, Dame Fiona Reynolds.
These slides, shown at the event, contain some of Green Alliance's achievements over the last 35 years and feature contributions from 35 people - politicians, former interns, our partners in business and the third sector, and ex directors of Green Alliance - about what they’ve valued most about working with us.
This analysis shows the significant positive impact that low carbon infrastructure investment could continue to have on the UK economy and finds that there is an unusually strong short run economic opportunity for the UK to be gained from developing low carbon infrastructure. An increase in spending on low carbon infrastructure projects should increase GDP by at least 0.7 per cent by 2015. Conversely, if the government abandoned its low carbon investment programme, the overall impact on GDP could be a reduction of as much as 2.2 per cent, and such a drop could push the UK back into recession. This analysis was the basis for a high level expert discussion on 25th July 2013.

This document provides an appendix describing the methodology and inputs used to model the practical potential for gas power with carbon capture and storage (CCS) in Europe in 2030. The modeling adapts existing models to assess capture readiness, CO2 storage feasibility, and transport solutions. Projections of gas capacity and generation in 2030 from the European Climate Foundation are used to extrapolate the distribution of the gas power plant fleet by country. Key inputs include the gas capacity and generation projections, criteria for determining capture-ready plants, and theoretical CO2 storage capacities from literature. The modeling methodology incorporates matching capture-ready plants to suitable storage locations based on distance and available storage capacity.
The Practical Potential for Gas Power with CCS in Europe in 2030 - Final ReportGreenAllianceUK
This document summarizes a report analyzing the practical potential for carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the European gas power sector by 2030. It finds:
1) The European Commission's Energy Roadmap 2050 identifies scenarios requiring widespread adoption of gas power with CCS starting in the 2030s to meet decarbonization targets.
2) Modeling identifies a potential role for 16 GW of gas power with CCS in Europe by 2030, delivering up to 105 TWh/yr of low carbon electricity.
3) Significant new gas capacity is already planned across Europe, which could help or hinder future CCS deployment depending on how "CCS ready" the plants are designed and

While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

55. Conclusions on Cash for Trash
• Paying for recyclables leads to an increase in
separate collection results but also to a shift from
the ‘free’ collection to the paid collection system
• System is probably less suitable in rural areas
where reversed collection can have stronger
effects at a lower cost
• System could be interesting in high urbanized
areas where it’s hard to implement adequate
infrastructure for separate collection
• System ties in with social municipal targets (work)
56. Collection innovations:
Reversed collection
• Currently:
– High service level for residual waste
– Relative low service level for recyclables
• Desirable:
– High service level for recyclables
– Relative low service level for residual waste

60. Conclusions Reversed Collection
• An extensive kerbside collection system for
recyclables combined with drop off point for
residual waste can have strong effects
• Many variations in the system are possible
• Effects appear to be stronger when the residual
waste container is at greater distance
• In urban environments great distances may
sooner lead to negative effects (littering), though
this has not yet been tested
• Many Dutch municipalities are now implementing
a form of reversed collection
61. Collection innovations: 100-100-100
Background information
• ROVA is a non-profit public waste collection company.
Their stakeholders are 21 municipalities (800.0000. inhabitants) in the middle & east of the Netherlands.
• “From waste to resource” and “waste-free society” are keywords in ROVA’s strategy since October 2009.
• ROVA introduced in 2011 the system of reversed collection:
resources are collected on the kerbside and residual waste has to be taken to drop-off facilities nearby
• This system leads to good results (recycling rate up to 80-90%). But a waste-free society requires more.
62. 100-100-100
Dutch social experiment in waste management
What? ROVA challenged 100 households (including alderman) to live 100 days a 100%
circularly live for waste and raw materials:
0 kg of residual waste and a decrease in the total amount of household waste
Why? Municipal waste management is at the end of the product lifecycle.
Choices of producers and consumers (before products become waste), to a large
extent determine the possibilities for product and material reuse. Although good
results have been made in municipal waste management (with the system of
reversed collection, ROVA municipalities reach 80% of recycling of household
waste), a waste-free society requires more. Therefore ROVA started in 2015
a social experiment in which waste prevention is the central theme.
63. 100-100-100
Dutch social experiment in waste management
How? • Recruiting households was no problem
(great enthusiasm among citizens, local and national press)
• Among 500 household participate in the experiment
• Start 1-1-2015
• In cooperation with University of Groningen (RUG), department Psychology
and University of Utrecht (Sustainability)
• 50 households are intensively followed and are given a concrete action
perspective appropriate to their specific situation, others receive support
through communication
• Halfway (50 days) the participants have reduced their residual waste up to
30 kg per capita per year (average ROVA 166 kg and Netherlands 220 kg)
Goals? This social experiment contributes to raising awareness. It also clarifies the
(im)possibilities on the road towards a waste-free society, for example:
• willingness and leverage to further behavioral change among citizens
• gives insight on the remaining products in the household waste
• the possibilities in acting of producers, pressure on producers for recyclables
• the political discussion at national level
64. The real tonnes: bulky waste
• Higher service level
(more collection points)
• More sorting, through
– Service (at source)
– Technology (afterwards)
• Chain deficit. More EPR?
– Mattresses
– Furniture
– Leather
• Technical separation
obligatory <> service level
65. Adequate service level
Dutch waste streams to be sorted:
a. WEEE;
b. Asbestos;
c. A-wood & B-wood;
d. C-wood;
e. Soil, separated following legal classifications;
f. Gas tanks, fire extinguishers, pressure equipment;
g. Car tires;
h. Roof waste;
i. Expanded polystyrene foam;
j. Mixed stone material, not being asphalt or gypsum;
k. Gypsum;
l. Gross garden waste;
m. Hard plastics;
n. Mattresses;
o. Metals;
p. Paper and cardboard;
q. Textiles, not being carpet;
r. Flat glass
s/z. …..?
67. Conclusions innovations
• The Dutch recycling rate has more or less stabilized
in the past decade
• A number of initiatives is emerging to set new steps
in collection, separation and recycling
• It seems feasible to significantly decrease the amount of
residual waste and to further increase the recycling rate
• Reversed collection seems to be setting the new standard
in rural areas
• Cash for Trash seems promising in urban areas
• Technical separation seems to offer additional potential
• Bulky waste still has scope for improvements (EPR?)
68. In conclusion
• Municipalities decisive role in local waste management
• Ambitious but feasible targets are inspiring
• Effective waste management needs an effective scale:
– For policy making
– For operations
• Inter municipal cooperation is key for success
• Financial instruments and service are key drivers
• EPR can have strong effects, when well implemented
• Innovations lead us to the circular economy
• But how do we deal with final treatment capacity?
• Can we take up this service of general interest together?
69. Thanks for your attention.
Wishing you inspiration
and succesful cooperation!

75. The real end of our current production process…
90% landfilling in Brasil, no better in Asia & Africa

Health, Hygiene
Environment, Climate
Social Responsibility
=> Sustainable?
76.
77. Urbanisation and the trend in use of resources
More urbanisation: (mega-)cities
More use of material resources
Yet collection and recycling
is more difficult in (mega-)cities
with highrise
Sustainability is not just about energy,
but surely also about recovering materials!
81. EU Approach: The Waste Hierarchy
Instead of landfilling shift to sorting and recycling,
organise waste to energy (sufficient but not too much),
then focus on prevention and reuse
86. Current,
linear
system
tekst- Extraction of natural material resources
- Value chain of processes for production and consumption
- Production of waste
Stress
factors
- Reduction of availability natural material resources
- Reducing margins and reducing of value in the chains
- Depletion of the living environment
•
System
challenge
- Conservation of a stable and prosperous society
- Prevention of further environmental damage and degradation (loss)
- Economically unsustainable future
Urgency
- Incredibly fast growing global population
- Average level of prosperity doubled globally
- Ecological ‘tipping points’ nearby
System challenge
88. Opportunities Netherlands with
Circular Economy (TNO):
• Annual savings at least €7,3 billion
on material costs
• 54.000 extra employment
• very strong reduction of
environmental pressure
Opportunities
93. Scaling up innovation
• Which connections are needed for further innovation?
• How do we scale up innovations better and faster?
• What is needed to incentivise the late majority?
• What is needed to incentivise the laggards?
• Is the playing field national, European or global? So...?
