The document discusses challenges in waste management in a globalized economy. It provides context on MBT (mechanical biological treatment) technologies and their relevance in "starting" versus "advanced" countries. A case study of waste management in Austria is presented, which banned landfilling of untreated municipal solid waste in 2004. This led various counties to implement MBT plants to process waste before landfilling. The document outlines the types of waste treatment facilities currently used in Austria, including incineration plants and MBT facilities. It also provides a brief example of a small MBT plant in Slovakia.
This is a presentation made by David Newman, Vice president of ISWA, at the “ISWA Beacon Conference on Globalisation, Urban Metabolism and Waste Management” held on 3 & 4 of July 2012 in Singapore. The presentation is divided in two parts (Part A & Part B). Part A presents global factors, data and environmental aspects related to waste management while Part B identifies local actions on waste management with global effects.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

The thermal option is well known… …but what is MBT ?
“Soft” Incineration
a variety of techniques & combinations
thereof – which in contrary to “classic” WtoE
involves several mechanical process steps
(at least grinding and/or screening)
reduces organic matter by biologic means
shows an “economy of scale”-factor up to
10 times lower (min. MBT: ~ 10.000 tpy).
Note that purely mechanical systems (MT)
are occasionally subsumized with MBT

12. Features of MBT, and their relevance…
…in „starting“ countries: …in „advanced“ countries:
Convenient cost Cost difference to conventional WtoE
–
both capex & opex tends to become neglectible
Gradual development of treatment
standards: ± practiced at low level
Phasing of investments (goes against
the fact that donors and development
agencies as a rule must distribute their
grants or loans over very short periods)
Flexibility, both in terms of
- feedstock + Combination M(B)T (several smaller
- size of catchment area ( capacity) facilities) + one central thermal plant
Large variety of technologies
- Opportunity for local suppliers ± Not more than a dozen suppliers of WtoE
- Obstacle: Tedious decision processes technologies on the market worldwide
Carbon sequestration to the extent as landfilling of MB treated
+
fractions is allowed / practiced

Decoupling the functions of to be realized only by combining M(B)T
waste treatment and
energy production + with thermal treatment (increasingly

Is the cost difference to W-to-E significant?

15. „Double duty“ sites

Since about 15 years full modularity
is a standard: Start up with a certain size…

collection (biowaste) requires
for no additional investment
...capacity increase

in respect to feedstock: ...to metropoles

waste types
The ´biologic treatment
option´ generally offers
flexibility
in terms of plant size:
Unit sizes
…range from household level

population up to x.000.000

Higher energy
efficiency
Quicker results
…decoupling

waste treatment and
energy production…

19. What´s really new in
thermal waste treatment?
Fluidized Bed Incineration
… features compared
to conventional (grate)
incineration):
Pre-treatment required
Less air
less cost
less size
Higher quality
of solid residuals
Higher energy efficiency
by reduction of chlorine
corrosion, thus higher 1
´steam parameters´
Ideally to be combined with
certain industrial processes
M. Steiner: “IMPLEMENTATION OF MBT IN LOW DENSITY CONDITIONS”
20. MBT in Europe: Current status
In Europe, the share of MBT
systems in waste treatment is
(in some countries more, in others
less) determined by two factors:
from a retrospective point of view,
by the historical development of
MSW composting with tradition
eg. in Austria, Germany, Italy…
1
M. Steiner: “IMPLEMENTATION OF MBT IN LOW DENSITY CONDITIONS”
21. MBT in Europe: Perspectives
…and by European legislation,
which through the “Landfill
Directive“ restricts the proportion
of the biodegradable fraction of
MSW intended to go to landfill.
