2. Waste management is no longer seen as an environmental
issue, but an economic sector and a social service.

3. The three Rs scenario finishes in sanitary landfills
where remaining waste is disposed of in a controlled way

4. The poor situation: NO Reuse culture NO
waste separation, NO waste treatment, and
dumps instead of landfills

5. There is a tremendous gap to bridge. In Spain, we are
closer than ever to the three Rs, having started from a
poor situation 20 years ago.

6. How to get to there?
How to start with?

7. GOVERNANCE BODY

8. THE
BUILDING BLOCKS

9. PRODUCTION

10. Putting the cart
before the horse.

11. Building a network of
sanitary landfills

12. Location, and capacity of landfills,
based on technical studies in which
waste production is the base

13. Sealing / ecovering
old dumps

14. Implentation of a waste collection
system adapted to your needs

15. domestic mixed waste including
glass, paper, and packaging, different
containers must be put in place

16. Green Points a good solution to collect specific waste
such as WEEE, CDW, used tires, etc

17. FACILITIES AND
TECHNOLOGIES

18. TREATMENT
FACILITIES & TECHNOLOGIES

19. Analyze information from
the collection system

20. if
their waste, is there any point of building a plant?

21. “You need to
collect separately
before you are
able to treat
separately”

22. the government is
cheating us,
making us
separate paper
and packaging but
they aren’t
recycling at all

23. Awareness campaigns are
necessary. They are an
opportunity to collaborate with
private sector and consumer
groups

24. It is crucial to engage people with waste recycling.
Waste management is made up of a part of technical
issues and a part of communication

25. if there were not a market for the ferrous metal, would
there be any point of building a plant to separate it?

26. Public-private workgroups to foster the development of
new business around waste treatment

27. Just to emphasize:
COLLABORATION

28. There are many different
technologies with different costs, ,
automation, efficiency, etc.

30. Best technology is not the
highest one but rather which
better matches your needs
and your economic level.

31. These decisions based on a
hierarchy of national-regional-local
waste management plans

32. GOVERNANCE
BODY

33. GOVERNANCE BODY

34. This is the moment to
integrate the components
into a functional chain

35. Administration is in charge of
establishing the legal framework

36. Who is going to pay to pay to treat the waste? Who is
going to manage that money? Who is going to pay to
build and operate facilities?

37. “Who pollutes pays”
A new tax for waste treatment

38. TAX can cause
rejection: once again
the importance of
awareness
campaigns

39. Three approaches
1. Household waste
2. Specific waste (WEEE, packaging..)
3. Other and hazardous

40. 1.
Household waste treatment is charged as a new tax
to the citizen by local governments or their consortiums

42. If there is not private interest: full public responsibility
or PUBLIC-PRIVATE COLLABORATON

43. 2.Treatment cycle of Specific Waste such as WEEE, used
Integrated Management System

44. The tax for the treatment is included in the price of the
products, Producers are in charge of recycling

45. The payment goes to a new private actor: Integrated
Management System who takes on the management
of the recycle cycle for some specific fractions of waste

49. this approach has allowed a new flourishing sector with
another private actor: Authorized Waste Manager who
acts as an independent recycler actor.

50. 3.
The recycling cycle for other waste, such as ELV,
is based on public-private agreements to
collaborate in collecting or treatment.

51. REMEMBER: Step-by-Step process starting by the rnd:
sanitary landfills. And then decide on technologies

52. Waste management can be, and should be, turn into an
economic sector to create welfare by means of publicprivate collaboration
